The city police called on the organizers to stop the unauthorized sale and departure of their supplies.

This is the third major stock initiative in December. On December 20, in front of the Czech Television building in Kavčí hory, the previous approximately 300 to 400 people demonstrated against the way of informing about the covid crisis and for freedom of speech. To the sound of sirens and lids, the participants walked from the main building of the Czech Television to the news building and back. The speakers mentioned CT’s biased contributions to coronavirus vaccination and called for balanced information about the epidemics.
The week before, about 5,000 people demonstrated on Wenceslas Square. They protested against the plan for compulsory vaccinations and pointed to the problems that self-employed people got due to anti-epidemic measures. They also drew attention to the possible departure of police officers or members of the fire brigade from the service, if vaccination is mandatory for these professions.
Compulsory vaccinations against the coid for selected professions and people over the age of 60 were introduced by the incumbent government of Prime Minister Andrej Babiš (ANO) in March next year. Representatives of the new government have already announced that the blanket age vaccination obligation has been abolished.
Olbert and Janeček recently introduced the possibility of government and parliament. Among other things, they write that society does not endanger the covid, but “is threatened by the destabilization of the economy, the destabilization of the rescue and police forces, the disintegration of the education system and the restriction of the individual’s personal freedoms.” They also criticize Interior Minister Vít Austran (STAN), who according to them forced police president Jan Švejdar to refuse compulsory vaccinations in his ward.
The Austrian had previously rejected claims that Švejdar had been pushed to the end in office. At a meeting that took place before the Austrian’s appointment as minister, he completed a witter post, according to which the police could lose up to 10,000 if mandatory vaccinations were introduced, as well as unchanged police reform. Svejdar announced that he would apply for civilian leave in early January. He stated that he had come to the conclusion that his tenure was not desirable.
In the call, Olbert and Janeček also propose to call a referendum within 30 days on (not) staying in the European Union or making experts with other than official opinions available to the media, such as the public Czech Television and Czech Radio.
