A protest action took place in the Czech capital, with participants expressing dissatisfaction over the government's plans to change the funding model for public media. Hundreds of people gathered to oppose the initiative to abolish television and radio licence fees.

Warnings about dependence on the authorities

Opponents of the reform expressed concern over the potential reduction in funds allocated to the media, as well as increased political influence on the information space. Protesters are convinced that the shift to funding from the state budget instead of viewer and listener fees will make the media more vulnerable to pressure from politicians.
