The National Theatre has declared a strike alert. Actors demand the departure of Klempíř.

The National Theatre's drama department declared a strike alert due to government actions threatening freedom of speech and culture. They demand the resignation of Culture Minister Ota Klempíř and the withdrawal of a proposed funding transfer for public media to the state. This decision followed a performance of Hamlet and was supported by the Actors' Association. The strike alert coincides with protests from students and media workers against the proposed media law, which they believe jeopardizes the independence of public media. The Culture Ministry faces ongoing criticism for its policies.
