About 400,000 Czechs are reportedly protesting against a reform of public media funding, which would undermine media independence, according to Czech media.
Hundreds of thousands of people rallied in Prague on Sunday against a plan by the government of Czech billionaire Andrej Babis to change funding for public broadcasters, which many say will undermine media independence and democracy.
The government wants to replace the current license fee system (contributions paid by citizens and businesses) that finances public television and radio with direct funding from the state budget.
