It mainly demonstrated for Russia, then for energy

In Prague, on Wenceslas Square, on the national holiday – Czech Statehood Day, there was a demonstration again against the government of Prime Minister Petr Fiala, allegedly because of expensive energy. However, there is no longer a reason for such a demonstration. The government has capped energy prices, so there is no danger of a drastic increase in electricity and gas prices. In the first place, it is a reversal of political conditions in our country and an attempt at an unconstitutional coup. What else are pressure actions to lead to the fall of the current government and the installation of a cabinet made up of supposed experts? Energy comes second.
It is, of course, tragicomic that Ladislav Vrabel, who has over twenty foreclosures on his neck and costs more than three million crowns, does something like this. Such a person failed in his business, went bankrupt, and would like to form a government. That’s ridiculous, because he doesn’t have the slightest qualifications for it. Moreover, in a democracy, the change of government is not decided by self-proclaimed street committees, but by free elections.
There is more than enough evidence that the demonstration was mainly about changing our foreign political orientation and leaning towards Russia. For example, a young Ukrainian girl was almost lynched by an enraged, hateful mob just because she stood up for her country against the Russian aggressor. Something so horrible needs no further comment.

The demonstration also collected signatures for the presidential candidacy of Josef Skála. At the same time, this hardened Stalinist agreed to the occupation of his own country in August 1968 and even boasted in his biography that he welcomed the international and fraternal power of the USSR and other socialist countries with joy. They are said to have been welcomed by Soviet troops at the Ruzyne airport and helped distribute their promotional materials. In 1949, my father was sentenced to life imprisonment in a contrived political trial and spent fifteen years in communist prisons. So Skála is no patriot, but a collaborator and traitor.
The protesters in Prague, many of whom praised Putin so much, should be happy to live in the democratic Czech Republic. If they dared to organize an anti-government protest rally in Putin’s Russia, they would be in trouble. Such an event would be prohibited by the Russian authorities, and if people did come to it anyway, the police would brutally disperse them.
The good news, however, is that fewer people gathered at the current demonstration than last time, a maximum of some thirty thousand. but previous participants had apparently already seen through that they had been abused.
