More than 200 show up for demonstration in Varnsdorf

In related news, demonstrations – which have not been sanctioned by local authorities -began in Varnsdorf and Šluknov on Friday afternoon. More than 200 people in Varnsdorf turned up. A third demonstration also got under way in Rumburk, but shortly after five pm only several dozen people were on the square. Local politicians were most wary of the demonstration in Rumburk, which was originally planned by a group with reported ties to the neo-Nazi movement. In the end the demonstration was taken up by local Social Democrats who booked the square earlier.
