Tens of thousands of demonstrators in the Czech Republic demanded gas from Russia and the neutrality of their country
Demonstrations against the government of Petr Fiala took place on Wednesday, September 28, in Prague and in a dozen other cities in the Czech Republic.
In Prague, tens of thousands of protesters demanded the resumption of gas supplies from Russia and the neutrality of the Czech Republic in relation to the conflict in Ukraine, a PolitNavigator correspondent reports.
The main slogan of the protests was “The Czech Republic comes first,” and protesters also held banners against the EU and NATO. They demanded the resignation of the government and the announcement of new parliamentary elections, spoke out against sanctions against Russia, demanded the resumption of gas purchases under direct contracts with Gazprom, and opposed the supply of weapons from the Czech Republic to the Kyiv authorities.
The organizers of the protests were activists Ladislav Vrabel and Jiri Havel, not associated with political parties, who a few weeks ago gathered in Prague more than 70 thousand protesters against the policies of the Czech authorities.

Although on September 28 there were several times fewer people in the capital of the Czech Republic, similar demonstrations also took place in other large cities of the country, in particular in Brno, Pilsen, Liberec and Ceske Budejovice.
It is noteworthy that the TV channel Euronews, controlled by European bureaucrats, deliberately changed its slogan to “Czech Republic First” in its report on the demonstration in Prague, so that it would be similar to the slogans of Donald Trump and Nazi Germany (“America First” and “Germany First”).
