PRAGUE - Czechs turned out in their thousands on Sunday in Prague to call for the ousting of Prime Minister Andrej Babis, in the biggest show of public discontent since the 1989 Velvet Revolution which overthrew Communism.
Organizers said they believed that about 250,000 people had attended Sunday’s rally, from all around the country, but this figure could not be verified. The appointment of a new justice minister just after the police announcement prompted rallies by demonstrators suspicious that Babis was trying to influence proceedings. Babis has also vigorously denied that claim.
He traveled to the rally with his wife and a group of friends from Brno, the country’s second city, 200km from Prague.
