Neo-Nazi to gather in Plzeň on March 1

A neo-Nazi demonstration is scheduled to take place in Plzeň on March 1. Far-right activists were originally planning to march through Plzeň on January 19, the anniversary of the first transport of Jews from the city in 1942. The town’s authorities had originally allowed the march to take place, but in the face of strong media pressure, they cancelled the event, only two days before it was due to take place. The radicals plan to march past the Great Synagogue in Plzeň, as it was planned before.
