Green Party wants to re-open debate on Lety pig farm

The Green Party says it wants to re-open debate on the relocation of a pig farm built on the site of a former concentration camp for Romanies in Lety, south Bohemia. The Lety pig farm is a long-standing problem which past governments failed to resolve. Several alternatives were considered in the past including the purchase of the farm by the state and its subsequent removal. None of the suggestions were taken up because they were allegedly all too costly. Romany organizations have been calling for the farm's relocation for many years. According to historical documents over 300 people died in the camp and 500 of its inmates ended up in the extermination camp at Auschwitz.
