Thousands of people took to the streets of the Czech capital Prague on Saturday to protest high inflation and call on the centre-right government of Prime Minister Petr Fiala to step down in a “Czech Republic Against Poverty” rally.
The participants of the protest action also criticized NATO and called for an immediate end to military aid to Ukraine. The protest was organized by the new non-parliamentary party “PRO”. “We have gathered here today to take a stand against poverty,” its chairman Jindrich Rajchl said in Prague’s Wenceslas Square. He would like a government that “takes care of the interests of Czech citizens first”.
Opponents of Fiala’s government accuse it of caring more about Ukraine than about its own country.
