The Czech Republic has been hit by a record wave of inflation, fueled by a sharp rise in energy prices. The discontent of many citizens is directed against the government and against the engagement in Ukraine.

Thousands demonstrated at the weekend in Prague's Wenzelsplatz under the slogan "Czech Republic against poverty". They waved flags and called for the withdrawal of the Liberal-Conservative government. They accuse the governing cabinet of Prime Minister Petr Fiala of not having taken enough measures against the increase in prices in the country. Demonstrators also criticized NATO and demanded the immediate cessation of military aid to Ukraine.

The protest action was organized by the new non-parliamentary party PRO. "We have gathered to position ourselves against poverty," said its chairman, Jindrich Rajchl. He said that he wants a government that "takes care of the Czech citizens in the first place".

Në fund të demonstratës një pjesë e protestuesve depërtoi në godinën e muzeut kombëtar në sheshin Wenzelsplatzes. Me brohorima protestuesit kërkonin që ta zëvendësonin flamurin ukrainas të vendosur në këtë godinë me atë çek.

Kërkesa për bisedime paqeje

Qeveria e Çekisë duhet të marrë rol ndërmjetësues të konfliktin e Ukrainës dhe të iniciojë bisedime paqeje në Pragë, ishte një ndër kërkesat, që publikuan në internet organizatorët e protestës. Mbështetja për Ukrainën duhet të kufizohet në ndihma humanitare. Një grupim i vogël kundër demonstruesve mbante flamujt e Ukrainës dhe të NATO-s si dhe pankarta me parrulla kundër presidentit rus Vladimir Putin.

The Czech Republic has been dealing with record inflation for a year, which is mainly related to the increase in the price of energy in the wake of the war in Ukraine. In February, inflation was 16.7 percent, almost twice as much as in Germany (8.7 percent)./ DW
