Mindaugas Murza

From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Mindaugas Murza (b. December 16, 1973) is a controversial Lithuanian politician, former member of the National Democratic Party (Lithuania) and member of Šiauliai city municipality council.

In April 2005, Murza passed plans to establish a new political party, called United National Workers Party. Its aims would be to encompass up to 3% of population eventually, and win in the next municipal elections of Šiauliai city council.

At the creation of new party, Mindaugas Murza compared globalism to Zionism, which led to investigation against him being carried out by Lithuanian prosecutors on basis of preaching hatred (anti-Semitism).

On April 12, 2005 police seized hard drives from Murza personal computer and computers of his colleagues. Because of legal reasons (prosecution pending) the court did not allow Mindaugas Murza to change his name to Mindaugas Gervaldas.
