Czech Republic: far-right demonstrations attract thousands



PRAGUE: -- Anti-migrant and anti-Islam demonstrations across the Czech Republic have attracted up to 5,000 people.

Organised to coincide with the Czech national day, the protests came a week after the United Nations labelled the country’s treatment of migrants “degrading.”

The rallies, which took place in at least four cities, were organised by Dawn, a right-wing, eurosceptic party.

Among the crowds in Prague was Lutz Bachmann, the leader of German far-right group PEGIDA. He called for all like-minded parties to work together.

“It is more important than anything else that the patriots in Europe connect and cooperate to fight this menace,” he told attendees in the capital.

More than 700,000 migrants have flocked to Europe between January and the end of October, 2015.

Tensions are running high between some European Union members as a result of the influx of people arriving in the continent.

The swell in numbers has seen support for far-right anti-immigration groups swell Europe-wide.

LOL. The left describes people as "far" right even if they are mainstream. They are only merely "the right" to a lefty if they are center.

It would be interesting to know what percentage of Czechs agree with these people and to know just how "far" right they really are.

I consider any idiot anyone who is in favor of letting these economic opportunists who are trying to flood flooding into Europe as "extreme left".

Who decides what the baseline is so that people can stop calling each other names without a solid basis? Do I really have to be "far right" to think that this re-population of Europe is insane?

Cheers.

The PC ( politically correct ) liberal media is quick to label far right any one who want to protect his holm land

from an economic invaders, and hundreds of thousands of them, far right are the KKK and neo Nazis groups,

and Iraqi flotsam and jetsam who forked out tens of thousand of dollars to re settle in a rich country....
