Senator accused of racism over recording

The League against Anti-Semitism have accused independent senator Liana Janackova of racism following the release of a recording on which she appears to say the way to deal with difficult Romany neighbours is to blow them out with dynamite. She also appears to admit to being a racist and an opponent of the integration of Romanies. However, Ms Janackova, who is also mayor of a district of Ostrava, denies either making the comments or being a racist. A Romany rights organisation has put the recording on its website.
