Results of the European Parliament election show that voters in Brno are more liberal than people in the rest of the Czech republic. Good news, isn’t it?

Unreformed Communist party (still feeling like dictatorship of the proletariat) got 10.21 % vote share in Brno (14.18 % in the whole country). Workers’ party based on ultra-conservative and racist ideology got 0.89 % (1.07 % in total). Separationists Moravians called “Moravané” had only 999 supporters in Brno, which means 1.00 % vote share (so finally, we DO like Prague, or at least don’t hate it too much).

As well as in the rest of the Czech republic, the elections were won by right-wing ODS in Brno, with left-wing ČSSD second, commies third and conservative christian-democrats fourth.

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.
