In Prague, they also protested against high inflation and the amendment of the pension law, and also demanded the departure of the government.
About 20,000 to 25,000 people demonstrated in Prague on Saturday afternoon against high inflation and the amendment of the pension law. Demonstrators demanded an end to military aid to Ukraine, which has been attacked by Russia, and the resignation of Prime Minister Petr Fiala's government.
The more than three-hour protest against poverty was organized by the non-parliamentary party called Právo Respekt Odbornost (Law, Respect, Expertise - PRO). The Wenceslas Square protesters waved Czech flags and chanted anti-government slogans. Jindrich Rajchl, the president of the PRO, announced: if the government does not accept their demands, there will be another demonstration on April 16 in Wenceslas Square, and then the government buildings will be blockaded.
At the end of the movement, a few hundred demonstrators marched in front of the Czech National Museum and demanded the removal of the Ukrainian flag on the facade of the building. After no one responded to their demands, several people tried to break into the building, which was prevented by police commandos. A fight broke out, as a result of which the police detained 15 people for disorderly conduct. Interior Minister Vít Rakusan described the demonstration as an action by pro-Russian people and said that the police intervention was legal and necessary.
Civilians Info: Viktor Orbán says that in Europe only Hungary and the Vatican stand for peace. The Western liberal press mentions all this with a negative tone, that the country of Lám-Lám Orbán was left alone with his concept. Well, I think all people are peace loving, who would want war, destruction, suffering, economic failure? No one. The people want peace, as does the Hungarian government. I am convinced that no one believes that sanctions will stop the Russians, that the wild Great Bear will attack Europe, and that the situation in Ukraine cannot be settled through negotiations. The ordinary citizen likes even less that he has to feel firsthand the bad decisions of his government (inflation, energy shortages, budget deductions, etc.) imposed by the EU leadership.
Now the Czechs have come out! They rarely move, but when they do, it's usually quite powerful! Their request is to stop using the Russian-Ukrainian conflict as a cover for internal political difficulties and to stand up for peace.
What is the text for this? That the demonstration was organized by pro-Russian provocateurs. If that's the case, that's fine. If Russians and pro-Russians want peace, it means that the belligerent declared as the aggressor is strangely on the side of peace.
You should take advantage of this and sit down at the negotiating table as soon as possible!
