PRAGUE: Thousands of Czechs filled the centre of Prague and other cities for a second week in a row to protest against the appointment of a new justice minister who they say they fear could meddle with a criminal case involving the prime minister.
Monday's protest was larger than a week ago. Organisers estimated at least 20,000 people filled Prague's Old Town Square, according to CTK news agency. Police did not give official estimates. Babis's previous justice minister, Jan Knezinek, resigned the day after the police wrapped up their investigation. Babis said Knezinek's position had only been intended to be temporary. His departure came amid a wider cabinet shuffle.
