Mass Prague rally hits Babis over democracy concerns
""We're here to clearly stand against dragging our country onto the path of Slovakia and Hungary," said Mikulas Minar, the head organizer from the Million Moments for Democracy group."
""This law can easily be used to restrict personal freedom," Vaclav Paces, the former head of the Czech Republic's Office for the Protection of Personal Data, warned about the proposed foreign agents law."
Tens of thousands rallied in Prague to oppose Prime Minister Andrej Babis and his coalition government, accusing it of undermining democratic values. Organizers estimated over 200,000 participants, who expressed concerns about Babis's alignment with pro-Russia policies. Demonstrators warned against proposed legislation resembling Russian restrictions on civil society. Babis's government has rejected key EU policies and is preparing a foreign agents law that could limit personal freedoms. The rally was organized by the Million Moments for Democracy movement, emphasizing the need to protect democratic principles in the country.
