The National Socialists – Left of the 21st century (Czech: Národní socialisté – levice 21. století, NS-LEV 21) also known as Left 21 (LEV 21)[1] is a left political party in the Czech Republic founded in October 2011 by Jiří Paroubek, former Prime Minister and former leader of the Czech Social Democratic Party (ČSSD).[2]
Former Prime Minister Jiří Paroubek was elected chairman of his newly founded party at the constituent congress on 26 November.[3] The party has two representatives in the 200-seat Chamber of Deputies, Paroubek and Jiri Slegr (ex-CSSD).[4]
The party name is in reference to the historical Czech National Social Party. LEV 21 wants to follow up the tradition of the national socialists in the First Czechoslovak Republic.[5] It is unrelated to Nazism.
