Prague, Dec 4 (CTK) – The Czech government will be deciding on the suspension of activities of 29 political parties and movements groupings at its meeting on Monday, including the far-right movements Alternative for the Czech Republic and National Democracy of Adam B. Bartos.
It will also decide whether 13 political groupings whose activities have already been suspended should be dissolved. These groupings include the Independent Democrats of Vladimir Zelezny, former member of the European Parliament and former director of Nova television.
However, the final decision on the possible suspension or dissolution of a party or movement will be made by the Supreme Administration Court.
In May, the Chamber of Deputies proposed to suspend activities of 81 political parties and movements because their annual financial reports were incomplete or because they did not even submit the report. The Interior Ministry concluded that in 53 of the cases the proposal was ungrounded. For example, the Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) of Tomio Okamura was founded only in June 2015 and the small Romany Democratic Party corrected its annual report.
If the party whose activities have been suspended does not correct the report within a year, the government or president may propose to the court its dissolution.
The financial reports for 2015 were properly submitted to the Chamber of Deputies in time by 126 out of 244 political parties and movements registered in the country.
