Hundreds of thousands of Czechs protest in Prague over media freedom
Hundreds of thousands of Czechs rally in Prague to save the licence fees funding public broadcasters, saying a plan to scrap them and cut state TV and radio budgets by about 15% would give ministers leverage over newsrooms. Organisers estimated 350,000 attended; Babiš calls the criticism hysterical lies and says the government will not interfere in editorial work.
