Around 30 neo-Nazis performed Nazi salutes on Saturday afternoon at the statue of Saint Wenceslas in Prague’s Wenceslas Square. Captured by a security camera, the group had already dispersed before police arrived. According to Czech television stations Prima and Nova, many of the individuals likely traveled from Germany. Eyewitnesses reported that most members of the group climbed onto the statue’s base. One individual stood in front, raising his right hand in a Nazi salute, prompting the others to respond similarly. The act was reportedly accompanied by shouts of “Sieg heil,” according to Prima. “There were about thirty of them, and they mostly spoke German. Before the police, who were called by someone nearby, could arrive, they had disappeared. People around did nothing—some groups even chose to leave the area,” an eyewitness wrote in an email to the television station.
