PRAGUE, Czech Republic, May 21 (UPI) -- The Czech public television network said Thursday it will sue a far-right party for submitting an anti-Gypsy racist ad so it will not have to air it again.
Czech television received the National Party video clip, which promises a "final solution" of the Gypsy problem, and broadcast it Wednesday, the first day of a publicity campaign for the European Parliament elections in June, Prague Radio said.
Czech Prime Minister Jan Fischer condemned the anti-Romany video as illegal, the radio said.
A Czech television spokesperson said the station complied with a law that orders it to air all ads received from political parties in the pre-election period.
The spokesperson said the ad will not air again and the network will file a lawsuit against the National Party, accusing it of racism.
Michael Kocab, Czech minister for minorities and human rights said the station should have obeyed the criminal code, which bans distributing racial hate messages, instead of observing the election law.
Interior Minister Jan Pecina said he plans to try to ban the far-right National party.
