Your own source (Wikipedia) states:

So, it is very much a leftist party, that does some (very debatable) right-wing stuff to gain publicity.

You are clearly just reading what you want to. Yes, it "planned to compete mostly with the Czech communist party[9] and as late as in early autumn 2008 the Workers' party program was considerably socialist" but if you continue to read, it says:

"The party has then started to emphasize nationalist dimension of its program, mostly effort to overhaul what they see as a favorable treatment of minorities, and in fact has started a radically anti-communist rhetoric, e.g. on the 20th anniversary of the collapse of communism in Czechoslovakia the party leader Tomáš Vandas has said: "So what is the state of the society nowadays? In one word: tragic. Communists still govern us."

This is not a left-leaning group. These Nationalistic groups are, and have been, popping up all over Europe in the last twenty years. They may not be considered "neo-Nazi", but they are pretty damn close.

*edited to add: I linked BBC too. Did you not read that? How about these, all calling them a far-right party:

And if you need any more proof, the guys at Stormfront seemed pretty irritated that the party was banned:
