Thousands protest in Prague

Tens of thousands protested in Prague against the Czech government's plan to eliminate public broadcasting funding. The coalition led by Andrej Babis approved a law to replace household fees with state budget financing, risking a 15% funding cut for public media. Critics, including President Petr Pavel, argue this threatens media independence and democracy. Workers from public channels plan a strike and legal action against the government's approval process. Babis claims the changes will stabilize funding and protect public media.
