The Security Committee of the Czech Parliament is to be led by a disseminator of fake news
Radek Koten, a new MP for the Czech extreme right political party Freedom and Direct Democracy (SPD), is to be appointed Chair of the Security Committee of the Czech Parliament, said Tomio Okamura, the leader of the SPD party on Monday. Koten is a member of a Facebook group which demands that the Czech Republic should leave NATO and the European Union. He has disseminated fake news from websites such as Aeronet, which is fiercely pro-Russian and the Czech Interior Ministry regards it as a source of disinformation.
