On Saturday, September 3, an anti -government demonstration was held in Prague, in which, according to the police, about 70 thousand people participated. The audience accused the authorities of inaction due to rising gas prices and electricity, called for the Czech Republic from the European Union and NATO, and also criticized the government for supporting Ukraine in the country’s unleashed war to the detriment of the country’s economy, BBC reports.
According to the report, the farmile nationalists in T-shirts with Putin, Communists, Covid-Skiptics, but also famous scientists, participated in the rally.
The organizers of the rally said that the Czech Republic should be neutral in military terms, and in its interests to conclude direct contracts with gas suppliers, including Russia.
The demonstration in the Czech Republic was the next day after the government of Prime Minister Peter Fiala survived the votum of mistrust in parliament. The opposition initiated this vote due to growing inflation and energy prices. Commenting on a demonstration in Prague on Saturday, he said that it was organized by “pro -Russian forces and groups with views close to extremist, who oppose the interests of the Czech Republic.” “It is clear that Russian propaganda and a misinformation campaign are operating on our territory, and some people will heed them,” added the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic.
