Czech Media Plan Protest
Tens of thousands gathered in Prague to protest the Czech government’s plan to transfer public media funding to the state budget and cut it by 15%. Organizers said turnout exceeded that at an anti-government protest in March attended by more than 200,000 people, and that the rally could become the largest since the 1989 Velvet Revolution. Opponents say the plan threatens the independence of television and radio and their ability to continue operating, while Prime Minister Andrej Babiš says it fulfills a promise to ease citizens’ financial burdens.
