Extremist Workers’ Party establishes youth group

The far-right Workers’ Party founded its youth group at a congress in Brno on Saturday. The aims of the group include the nationalization of the Czech education system, the support of traditional families and a general ban on drugs. The Workers’ Party youth group currently has around 100 members, most of them from Prague.

The small far- right Workers’ Party made headlines last year when its sympathizers attempted to march in a Romany ghetto in northern Bohemia. In January, the Supreme Administrative Court rejected the government’s petition to ban the party.
