Hundreds of thousands are expected to demand the resignation of Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis in what will likely be the biggest public confrontation with the government since the 1989 Velvet Revolution.

Organizators stream:
Note that I personally feel ‘doubtful’ about protests organized by this group. You can saw many EU, NATO flags in crowd. Organizators and most of participants are implicit pro-EU etc. They represent just one opinion on view of world in Czech society.
It is VERY different from Yellow Vests protests, for example, if you’re familiar with it.
