KSCM supporters outside the entry to Vystaviste by anti-communist banners reading, for instance, "Communism is no opinion, communism is a crime." The event was also attended by NS chairwoman Petra Edelmanova. She says the NS is the only party in the Czech Republic to be able to stand up against "the left-wing plague." Edelmanova, accompanied by her supporters and journalists, later went to to the KSCM meeting at Vystaviste. No incidents occurred during the NS event that ended at about 11:00.
It was monitored by over 20 policemen, including mountain police. Organisers from the NS distributed flyers with the list of people executed by the communist regime for political reasons and tried to discuss with people. Before the meeting, members of the National Guard leadership, Michal Kubik and Rene Langr, gave speeches, trying to explain the establishment and functioning of this para-military grouping. They said that the National Guard, working under the NS aegis, should help citizens during natural disasters and other emergency situations. However, a number of politicians criticise the National Guard as a dangerous, militant grouping. The extra-parliamentary NS has been officially registered since 2002. The Interior Ministry originally refused to register it, but the party turned to the Constitutional Court that cancelled the ministry's decision. The party stands up against the EU, foreign immigrants and Romanies. The party recently presented the controversial anti-Islamic film Fitna (Discord) of Dutch ultra-right MP Geert Wilders on its website. The film, released in March, met with sharp criticism in the Muslim world. The Czech police organised crime squad (UOOZ) started investigating the film's release on the Internet to check whether the film's content is in compliance with Czech law.
