Fascists and communists to march on May Day

by Michal Kašpárek on 02/19/2009

UPDATED ON MAY 1: read No riots during fascist rally. Unsettling May Day anyway.

Clashes are anticipated to take place on May 1st, after both Workers’ Party and Communist Party supporters anounced they will march through the town.

Workers’ Party launched 2003 and fights against the globally connected economy, homosexuality, drugs, NATO, EU and ethnical minorities. They got 1 % of popular vote in the last year’s elections. Czech communist party launched 80 years ago, killed hundreds of innocent people in 1950s and transformed a formerly-modern state into a poor Soviet satellite. However, they have not been banned after the Velvet revolution and got 15 % of popular vote in the last year’s elections.
