Government files for banning of Workers’ Party

The government has filed a proposal for the banning of the extreme-right Workers’ Party with the Supreme Administrative Court. The court’s spokesman, Michal Lovritš, said it would deal with the proposal on September 30. The previous government made a proposal to the same end earlier this year, however it was dismissed by the court on the grounds that it was poorly prepared and did not include the necessary evidence. Both the police and the Czech intelligence agency BIS consider the party an extremist organisation of right-wing radicals.
