Far-right march passes off peacefully

A march by the Workers’ Party in Krupka, north Bohemia on Saturday afternoon passed off quite peacefully. Police prevented the far-right group from attempting to enter a local apartment complex largely populated by Romanies. Two Romanies were arrested for throwing beer glasses at the far-right demonstrators. The Workers’ Party came to national attention when they fought running battles with police who stopped them from entering a Romany neighbourhood in Litvínov in November. Last month the Supreme Administrative Court turned down a Czech government request to ban the small grouping.
