Experts: Over 4000 militant neo-Nazis in Czech Republic

A fresh study by the Interior Ministry concludes that there are over 4000 militant right-wing extremists in the Czech Republic. According to experts, some 400 individuals make up the hard core of the right-wing extremist scene, which due to its propensity to violence is a long-term threat to society. The study also predicts an increase in attacks on Czech citizens of Romany ethnicity over the next five years. Several experts worked on the study, which was led by sociologist Miroslav Mareš.
