Controversial far-right French politician Marine Le Pen is scheduled to take part in a conference in Prague on April 23, an aide to the National Front leader revealed. The conference, called by Dawn Party MP Radim Fiala and former Civic Democratic MP Jiří Janeček, is to examine issues of peace and prosperity in the EU. Janećek is now a member of the non-parliamentary Civic Conservative Party. The aide to Ms Le Pen, Ludovic de Danne, said they were looking for viable partners for cooperation in the Czech Republic. Members of the troubled Dawn Party, who ousted their own leader Tomio Okamura and Mr Fiala as deputies’ club leader, indicated earlier they too wanted to revamp the party along the lines of the Front National. The party has long taken a hardline stance on immigration policy.

A new photo from a camera trap is the first piece of evidence proving the presence of a wild wolf in the Šumava mountains, southwest Bohemia, the ALKA Wildlife group has written on Facebook. The photo shows a male wolf strolling along the right bank of the Lipno reservoir near the Loučovice village. The camera photographed the animal at a remote spot between the reservoir dam and the Austrian border. "This is for the first time a camera photographed a wild wolf, not one escaping from captivity." Tereza Minaříková, from ALKA Wildlife, told the Czech News Agency. She added the group had discussed the photo with our partners in the region and also experts in Saxony, Bavaria and Italy. Experts believe that the photographed wolf is a lonely migrating male. In early February, a migrating wolf was photographed in the nearby Weinviertel area, on the Austrian side. In March, another one was photographed in the Bavarian border zone, also adjacent to Šumava.

The Constitutional Court has ruled in favour of a communist-era exile who has been trying to get a house back in the Brno district of Kohoutovice for over two decades. The building was confiscated after Jiří Rábl emigrated illegally in 1981 and later sold to a Communist Party official. A Regional Court in Brno had previously ruled that the property should remain in the hands of its current owner, the Communist’s daughter. The Regional Court must now reconsider the matter.

MP Milan Šarapatka has quit the deputies group of the populist Dawn party, a day after the expulsion of founder Tomio Okamura. A frequent critic of Mr. Okamura’s, Mr. Šarapatka said he was leaving the deputies group over ambiguities in Dawn’s financing and the fact he had been denied access to the results of an audit of its accounts. Some Dawn members led by MP Marek Černoch said last month they would set up a new party “defending national interests” and seeking to cooperate with France’s National Front.
