Tens of thousands protested in Prague on March 21, 2026, against Prime Minister Andrej Babiš’s new government, citing concerns over democratic backsliding, a shift away from supporting Ukraine, and proposed laws resembling Russia’s foreign agents law that could restrict NGOs and free expression. Demonstrators, estimated at 200,000, also opposed changes to public media funding and government moves to shield Babiš and Speaker Tomio Okamura from prosecution, fueling fears of political immunity and erosion of democratic norms.
