BBC News - Slovak ’neo-Nazi’ wins election in Banska Bystrica
▻http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/world-europe-25082487
A right-wing extremist has been elected regional governor of Banska Bystrica in central Slovakia.
Marian Kotleba won 55.5% of the vote in the run-off against Vladimir Manka from the Smer-Social Democrat party.
Mr Kotleba is a former leader of a banned far-right organisation who now leads the ultra-nationalist Our Slovakia party.
He has previously organised marches against Slovakia’s Roma minority.
The now-banned neo-Nazi party which Mr Kotleba formerly led had expressed sympathy for the Nazi puppet state which ruled Slovakia during World War II.
