Demonstrations against Babiš govt. held in Prague and elsewhere

Anti-government demonstrations took place in Prague and 160 other places in the Czech Republic on Tuesday evening. Around 1,500 people attended a demonstration on the capital’s Old Town Square organised by protest group Million Moments for Democracy, who say that Andrej Babiš’s government failed to implement sufficient economic measures in response to the coronavirus crisis and that some procurements of medical equipment were not transparent.

The organisers created a grid of temporary markings on Old Town Square ahead of the protest that signalled where participants should stand to ensure social distancing.
