BIS: far-right extremism losing ground

The intelligence agency BIS says that right-wing extremism in the Czech Republic is losing ground. The agency’s third quarter report on the issue says that the loss of political platforms, namely the outlawed Workers’ Party, and concern over repression has made the community passive, disoriented and reluctant even to hold concerts. The report specifies that neo-Nazi groups are confining their gatherings more to private meetings and travelling to Poland and Hungary for larger events that would draw more attention from the police and the media in the Czech Republic. The prohibition on the far-right Workers’ Party earlier this year has had a large impact on the community, according to BIS.
