Could possibly be even bigger than in 2019. According to T-Mobile, there were 283 000 people on the protest in 2019. First estimates of today’s Participation is 250 000 minimum. It could be even more. Hopefully we’ll get some more accurate data

Is that one of those things when rural voters elect assholes then people in big cities protest against said assholes?

We were there! Proud to see so many Ukrainian flags too. There were also a small group with Iranian flags. I’m glad they were there. While no country is perfect I’m forever grateful my family and I ended up here in the end.

When numbers hit hundreds of thousands it’s not just complaining anymore it’s a signal something isn’t working and people are fed up
Greetings from Poland!
Fight for better tomorrow.

I’ll try to give a brief summary: Protests are happening because the new government is a coalition led by a populist billionaire who partnered with two small parties to secure a parliamentary majority – one openly pro-Russian, anti-EU, and xenophobic, the other far-right, anti-environment and aligned with Trump-style politics. The new government is rapidly pushing laws similar to those in Hungary and Slovakia to consolidate control over state institutions, channel public money to friendly oligarchs, and weaken or eliminate independent organizations and public media that could hold the government accountable.

I didn’ t expect the Czech prime minister to step in as the eurosceptic taking Orban’s place.
Looks like Washington and Moscow always have their own puppet among Europe’s leaders.

Unlike Fico and Orban, Babis isn’t pro-Russia though…
