Thousands of protesters have rallied in the Czech Republic’s capital city of Prague to demand the country’s pro-Western government resign over its support for the war in Ukraine and its economic performance.
The protesters, who were supporters of a new political party known as PRO, converged on Prague’s Wenceslas Square on Saturday, with CTK news agency estimating the turnout at about 10,000.
The rally was the third of its kind to be organized in the capital this year by PRO, whose name in English stands for Law, Respect and Expertise. It has no seats in parliament.
“We made another step today to move out of the way the rock that is the government of Mr [Prime Minister Petr] Fiala,” PRO leader Jindrich Raichl told the crowd.
