Iran Press/ Europe: The Czech Republic has been facing unprecedented inflation for a year due to the increase in energy prices caused by the war in Ukraine.
Inflation in this country, a member of the European Union and NATO, which has a population of 10.5 million, reached 16.7 percent in February.
The march called "Czech People Against Poverty" was organized by a new political party.
The protesters called on the centre-right government of Petr Fiala to resign, while Rajchl said he wanted leaders who "care about the interests of Czech citizens first".
Critics accuse Fiala's government of caring more about Ukraine with substantial military and humanitarian aid sent to the war-torn country since the invasion started in February 2022.
Protesters also slammed NATO, with Czech media reporting a protester with a loudspeaker called on the crowd to tear down a Ukrainian flag from the National Museum building at the top of Wenceslas Square. 219
