Calls to send Jews, Roma, and homosexuals to the gas chambers in the parliamentary restaurant by a far-right politician

Jaroslav Staník, at that time the secretary of the political party Freedom and Direct Democracy, called for Jews, Roma and homosexuals (using derogatory terms for these entities) to be sent to the gas chambers in a late evening conversation in the parliamentary restaurant. He was later sentenced for these and other hateful statements for inciting hatred against a group of persons or restricting their freedoms to a suspended sentence and a fine. The SPD party stripped him of his membership and office.
