About 400,000 people went out to demonstrate against the reform in the financing of the media in the Czech Republic.

About 400,000 people participated in a mass protest in Prague, reports ČTK. The participants of the rally oppose the reform in the financing of the state media: the authorities want to transfer the television and radio from a mandatory contribution of citizens and companies to financing from the state budget.

The protesters fear that this will allow the government to control the media and deprive them of their independence. According to ČTK, this is the largest protest in the Czech Republic in 40 years.
