Police will investigate whether a woman who displayed a Soviet flag during a Brno city council meeting committed an offence by promoting communism, municipal police spokesman Jakub Ghanem said on Tuesday.
The woman was among several opponents of the upcoming Sudeten German conference, due to take place in Brno this weekend - the first time the event will be held in the Czech Republic.
“You will be tried for collaboration, for undermining the republic and for joining forces with a foreign power,” she told councilors, before pulling out the flag.
Municipal police escorted her from the chamber and verified her identity. According to police, the case will now be reviewed by state authorities.

Former national drug policy coordinator Jindřich Vobořil has criticised the government’s planned transfer of the country’s anti-drug agenda from the Government Office to the Health Ministry, calling it a big mistake.
According to Vobořil, the Health Ministry lacks the authority to coordinate policies involving customs, gambling, illegal trafficking and law enforcement measures. He also warned of potential complications in the distribution of subsidies to social services.
The government approved the transfer on Monday, with the move set to take effect in July.

The composition of Czechia’s lower house of parliament, as determined by last year’s election, is now final after the Constitutional Court rejected the last outstanding legal challenge. The complaint was filed by Petr Beitl, the Liberec regional leader of the Spolu coalition, who failed to win a seat after his region lost a quarter of its parliamentary mandates compared with previous elections, with seats redistributed to other regions. Beitl had challenged parts of the electoral law, particularly the method used to convert votes into seats in the second round of allocation. The court said judges cannot change clearly established electoral rules after an election has taken place and then apply those new interpretations retroactively to alter the result.
