The number of students is increasing. Prague universities will join the strike, some will get a day off in Brno.

Students from several Prague universities will join a strike on November 3 to support Czech Television and Czech Radio against government funding changes. The strike is organized by the Student Solidarity Committee, with participation from institutions like DAMU, FAMU, and others. In Brno, students will also have time off to support protests for media independence. Various events are planned, including a march and a gathering in support of public media. The government’s proposal to transfer funding to the state has faced criticism from university leaders and cultural institutions, who argue it threatens media independence. Protests have already occurred in multiple cities, with more planned in the coming weeks.
