Czech minister Cunek offers solution to Romany issue ... march to the Town Hall as an event against intolerance and decriminalisation of drugs. The march of over 100 rightist extremists carrying black flags and banners started at 14:00 today.
The participants chanting slogans against drugs went from a railway station to the embankment where speeches were delivered. Then the group, accompanied by policemen, returned to the station and the march was dispersed. Anti-fascists and anarchists, chanting slogans against Nazism, waited for the march on a bridge. However, armoured police divided both antagonistic groups. Such a march has been staged in Decin for the first time and the local police feared possible violent clashes. This is why over 200 policemen were deployed during the event. A police helicopter, the special anti-conflict team, armoured policemen as well as detectives in civil clothes and policemen on a boat monitored the event. The 50-member Decin municipal police unit was also on alert. Decin Mayor Ladislav Raska said the march was officially announced beforehand and the Town Hall had no reason to ban it. No major incidents accompanied the march, and the organisers kept their promises, Cvick said. However, he added that the police would keep monitoring the remaining groups of demonstrators who stayed in the town.
