Tens of thousands in Czechia protested Feb. 15, 2026, supporting President Pavel against Foreign Minister Macinka’s push to appoint a controversial minister.
Tens of thousands of Czechs rallied in over 400 cities and towns, including Prague and Brno, on February 15, 2026, in support of President Petr Pavel amid a political standoff with Foreign Minister Petr Macinka.
The demonstrations, organized by the group Million Moments for Democracy, followed Pavel’s refusal to appoint a minister from Macinka’s right-wing Motorists for Themselves party after offensive social media posts attributed to the nominee surfaced.
The nominee apologized for some content but denied authorship of others.
Macinka accused Pavel of violating the constitution and threatened consequences, which Pavel dismissed as blackmail.
The protests reflect growing public concern over democratic safeguards, the independence of the presidency, and the new government’s shift away from Ukraine support and EU integration.
