demonstration for Justice Minister Marie Benesova's resignation and against PM Andrej Babis in Prague's Letna plain
The rally against PM Andrej Babis and for the independence of the judiciary in Prague's Letna plain today, on Sunday, June 23, 2019, was probably the largest Czech demonstration since 1989, as planned by the organising Million Moments NGO, with the attendance over 258,000, according to T-Mobile operator's data. The protest warns against the path Czechia has embarked under PM Babis (ANO) and President Milos Zeman, the organising Million Moments NGO deputy head Benjamin Roll said in an opening speech, warning against the usurpation of power by oligarchs, Prague, Czech Republic, June 23, 2019. The demonstrators want the resignation of Babis, also over his conflict of interest confirmed by an EC audit and over the prosecution he faces for a suspected EU subsidy fraud. Furthermore, they demand the departure of Justice Minister Marie Benesova (for ANO), whose recent appointment they view as a threat to the independence of the Czech judiciary. (CTK Photo/Libor Sojka)
