Left-wing supporters fill the Vystaviste exhibition grounds

Meanwhile, left-wing supporters filled Prague's Vystaviste exhibition grounds on Tuesday where the opposition Social Democrats and the Communist Party hosted separate Labor Day rallies. Traditionally both are highly politicized and this year's Communist Party rally was moreover organized as a protest against the deployment of a US radar base on Czech territory. The CTK news agency reports that there was a brief skirmish between communist party supporters and anti-communist activists, but no serious injuries were reported.
