The Workers' Party (Czech: Dělnická strana) was a Czech far-right, extremist, and neo-Nazi[2] political party, founded by Tomáš Vandas in 2003. In 2010, it was banned, making it the first instance of a political party being abolished for its ideology in the modern history of Czechia.[3] Its representatives, including Vandas, subsequently shifted their membership to the Workers' Party of Social Justice (Czech: Dělnická strana sociální spravedlnosti), founded in 2004.[4]
The decision of the Supreme Administrative Court is a very important message for the entire Czech society. It is a message stating that the Czech Republic does not tolerate extremism. – Martin Pecina, Minister of the Interior of the Czech Republic[5]
