Anti-Roma Riot in Duchcov

Around 600 right-wing extremists, football hooligans, and supportive residents attempted to attack Roma homes in Duchcov during a wave of anti-Roma demonstrations that summer. Police repelled the mob using tear gas. The riots fuelled nationwide hostility, worsened inter-ethnic relations, and strengthened far-right populist parties.
