The Czech parliament has handed the police a blank check to go after Tomio Okamura, leader of the Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD) party, in what can only be described as a blatant attack on free speech.
Lawmakers from the ruling centre-right coalition eagerly stripped Okamura of his immunity, paving the way for bogus charges over campaign posters that dared to challenge the EU’s disastrous migration policies.
At the heart of this absurd case are campaign visuals that hit a little too close to home for the government. One poster featured an AI-generated image of a man holding a bloody knife with the message: “Shortcomings in healthcare won’t be solved by ‘imported surgeons.’” Another stated the obvious: “Stop the EU Migration Pact.”
The thought police—or, as they call themselves, Czech authorities—claim these posters were somehow racist and xenophobic because they portrayed migrants in a negative light. Another poster showed Roma children skipping school to smoke, which, according to investigators, was enough to warrant a criminal complaint for racism.
Yes, you read that right—Okamura could face up to three years in prison for campaign materials that simply pointed out the disastrous consequences of mass migration and failed integration.
Okamura, however, is not backing down. He’s called this what it is—a blatant attempt to silence opposition voices.
“I will continue to stand by my opinion—stop the EU Migration Pact,” he declared, adding that the ruling coalition won’t shut him up, no matter how hard they try.
Meanwhile, one of the complaints against him came from Jiří Pospíšil, a former justice minister and EU loyalist who has long been cozy with Brussels bureaucrats. No surprises there.
With Czech police now moving toward prosecution, the government has made its priorities crystal clear: going after opposition leaders while ignoring the very real problems Okamura has been warning about.
