MAIL Online: A far-right party in the Czech Republic, which has links with the BNP, has caused a storm by calling for a 'final solution to the gipsy [sic] issue'.
The Nazis used the term as a euphemism for the mass slaughter of Jews in the Holocaust.
The National Party in Prague made the call in a TV ad for the European Parliament elections next month.
The camera panned over dishevelled and dirty-looking Roma women and children, before a voice-over said 'we call for final solution to the gipsy issue'.
There were also slogans on screen such as 'Stop black racism', 'No favouring of gipsies' and 'We don't want black racists among us'.
Czech extremists routinely refer to Roma people as blacks. The Czech government has expressed outrage over the broadcast and pledged that it will not be repeated.
BNP leader Nick Griffin spoke last year at a rally of the National Party, which is also anti-immigration and anti-Muslim.
In his speech he railed against the accession of Turkey to the EU, saying that the introduction of millions of Muslims into the EU would 'drive down wages, living standards and increase taxes'. >>> By Allan Hall | Friday, May 22, 2009
