CZECH REPUBLIC | School spawns fascists

Jiří Volprecht, the head of the police in Most, says the local Technical High School is a breeding ground for right-wing extremism. Volprecht said graduates of the school and current pupils regularly participate in events held by nationalist groups. Last year, a mass brawl occurred between Czech and Romani students at the school and many smaller incidents with a right-wing extremist background have occurred there. The hardcore of the Czech fascist movement is said to consist of 200 people nationwide who meet at events organised by the ultra-right Workers' Social Justice Party (Dělnická strana sociální spravedlnosti – DSSS). Police believe that many of these activists extremists attended the school.
