According to the demonstrators, the country’s government is more interested in Ukraine’s affairs than its own citizens.
Almost 70,000 people demonstrated against the government in the center of Prague on Saturday. According to the protesters, the prime minister Petr Fiala the center-left government is more interested in Ukrainian affairs than its own citizens.
“All the best for the Ukrainians and two sweaters for us,” read one protester’s banner, referring to rising energy prices.
Czech Republicwhich currently holds the EU’s rotating presidency, has taken in nearly 400,000 refugees from Ukraine.
Fiala’s government survived a vote of no confidence in the parliament organized by two opposition parties on Friday. According to Fiala, there were people behind it “whose interests did not coincide with the interests of the Czech Republic”.
