Vesely at the same time filed a complaint against the National Party on suspicion of committing the crime of defamation of nation, race and conviction. Vesely said the National Party committed the crime by publishing texts threatening the fundamental freedoms of Czech citizens of another nationality on its website. Moreover, the National Party is spreading racial hatred towards Romanies on whom it reports only negatively, Vesely added. He also criticised the paramilitary National Guard that Owners damaging national heritage will pay more - Czech Senate ...

Germany's Left Party holds first national convention ... the National Party established in February. "The National Guard is organised on a strictly military principle.
It is divided into separate units... the guard members are being trained and they receive a uniform and a knife," Vesely said. The National Guard drew attention in June when its members were patrolling outside a school in Karlovy Vary, west Bohemia, allegedly to protect pupils from attacks by Romany children. The National Guard members were also suspected of attacking the march of homosexuals in Brno in June. Zdenek Marsicek (opposition Communists, KSCM), deputy head of the lower house defence committee, called on Interior Minister Ivan Langer (senior government Civic Democrats, ODS) in June to check whether the National Party violated the law on political parties by the National Guard establishment as the law bans parties from setting up armed units. However, Langer said a month ago that he did not consider the establishment of the National Guard a reason for banning the National Party. The daily Lidove noviny (LN) reported this week that the National Party would like to succeed in the general elections in 2010 with radical anti-Romany rhetoric formulated in a 150-page study called "The Final Solution to the Gipsy Question in the Czech Lands" that it would present in a month. The name evokes Nazi Germany and its final solution to the Jewish question, but the nationalists claim they do no want to kill Romanies, but that they want to buy land in India and relocate Romanies there, LN wrote.
