PRAGUE - An estimated quarter of a million Czechs rallied in Prague on Sunday to demand the resignation of Prime Minister Andrej Babis, in the biggest show of public discontent since the 1989 Velvet Revolution which overthrew Communism.
Organizers said they believed that about 250,000 people had attended Sunday’s rally. Phone operator T-Mobile said its network usage analysis put the number of participants at over 258,000. A police spokesman declined to give an estimate.Protesters carried banners saying “Resign”, “We’ve had enough”, “We won’t give up democracy”, and others waved Czech and EU flags.
The appointment of a new justice minister just after the police announcement prompted rallies by demonstrators suspicious that Babis was trying to influence proceedings. Babis has also vigorously denied that claim.
That's exactly what we need here, but bigger.
calm public dissent. thank you Czech Republic.
When are we doing this for Trump?
Would be difficult for him to quit in mass protest since he's only one person.
Where was this rally in Prague held?
,Babis has been accused,the demonstration against him is huge.He has a conflict of trust. And can't keep himself in office any more
And we in the US are still sitting in our homes complaining about how corrupt and cruel trump is, while every day another part of the world is out protesting against corruption.
Czech people and government should not host Radio Free Europe/Radio Liberty anymore because Europe is free and RFERL are USA dirty spies without any legal, moral and professional journalism
That was fast
Let the peoples voices be heard!
