Protesters against the government, marching from the National Museum to Národní třída, were diverted by the police in Spáléná street, citing the filling of the space in front of the place of worship on November 17. On the spot since morning, people have been remembering the events of 1989 that led to the fall of the communist regime. A march of several hundred protestors thus set out on the embankment to Mánes and from there to the National Theatre. Along the way, the crowd stopped the operation of several trams.
According to earlier statements, opponents of the government want to continue from Wenceslas Square to the Straka Academy, where they are going to hand over a petition for the withdrawal of Ukrainian flags from state buildings.
The route of the procession from Wenceslas Square was accompanied by small verbal fights, for example with young people who were holding the flag of the North Atlantic Alliance. From the National Museum, the protest first went along the main road towards Žitná Street, where it briefly stopped at a memorial plaque commemorating the victims of November 1939.
The participants of the march chanted the slogan Bohemia to Bohemia. The acoustic accompaniment was also completed by drummers and whistles. Due to the march, the police closed traffic on Prague’s main thoroughfares for a few tens of minutes.
