Thousands of people rallied again in the Czech capital on Sunday to protest high inflation and demand the government’s resignation.
It was the second such rally at Prague’s Wenceslas Square after one on March 11 that was organized by a new political party known as PRO under an "against the poverty" banner.
The demonstrators, speakers at the protest and the head of the populist group, Jindrich Rajchl, blamed the European Union and the Czech government for soaring inflation and all repeatedly called on the current five-party coalition to resign.
“We want the government’s resignation,” Rajchl told the crowd. Rajchl, a lawyer by profession, is the former deputy head of the Czech soccer association.
“Resign, resign,” the protesters chanted.
“We’re here to stand by our country,” Rajchl said.
His group, whose name in English stands for Law, Respect, Expertise has no seats in parliament.
Rajchl claimed his group was ready to further escalate the protests.
Inflation has been high but on the decline in recent months, dropping to 15% in March, down from 16.7% in February and 17.5% the month before.
