Demonstrations for public media reform took place in front of the ČT building in Prague

A protest against the fees for Czech Television and Czech Radio took place in Prague, organized by the Svatopluk association. The event included speeches criticizing public media and calls for reform. While several hundred participants attended, organizers claimed 2,000. Supporters of public media also gathered, leading to a peaceful demonstration with minor disruptions. The protests were sparked by a government proposal to abolish broadcasting fees, which opponents argue threatens media independence. The government insists the changes are part of a promise for more efficient management of public media.
