Anti-government Protests Have Intensified In Czech Republic
Anti-government protests have intensified in the Czech Republic.
Support for Ukraine, people are furious in the Czech Republic due to Russia’s opposition, and thousands of protesters reached the anti-government rally.
Anti-government protests have intensified in the Czech Republic, a country located in the European continent.
Thousands of protesters from far-flung areas attended the rally against the ruling party on Saturday.
Police estimate that the number of angry people at Prague Central Wenceslas Square is about 70 thousand.
The protests were led by some political parties, including the Direct Democracy Party and the Communist Party.
These protesters demanded the resignation of the current coalition government led by conservative Prime Minister Petr Fiala.
In fact, these people are angry with many issues including the policies of the government supported by Western countries, and are constantly criticizing it.
Prime Minister Fiala said that everyone has the right to protest, but the protesters are expressing pro-Russian views that are not in the interest of the Czech Republic and our citizens.
In fact, the protesters slammed the government for supporting sanctions against Russia over the war in Ukraine, accusing it of not being able to deal with rising energy prices.
At the same time, the protesters also criticized NATO and the EU, and 27 countries’ plans to cut greenhouse gas emissions and reach climate neutrality.
The Czech Republic gave many weapons to Ukraine for war.
The Czech Republic has been strongly supporting Ukraine in its fight against Russian aggression and has supplied a range of military equipment, including heavy weapons, to the Ukrainian armed forces.
At the same time, the government is now planning to convene an emergency meeting of EU countries next week on the issue of the energy crisis.
This anti-government demonstration in the Czech Republic took place when the opposition brought a no-confidence motion against the government over inflation and fuel prices.
However, the government got away with it.
Opposition leader Andrej Babis said that Prime Minister Fiala and his ministers are not capable of running our country, as well as they have completely failed on the issue of the energy crisis.
Former prime minister, Babis was defeated in an election last year. He accused the government of unnecessarily investigating people for alleged corruption in the scam.
