Czechs protest handling of energy crisis, membership of EU and NATO

PRAGUE, Sept 28 (Reuters) - Tens of thousands of Czechs gathered in Prague on Wednesday to protest against the government's handling of soaring energy prices and the country's membership of NATO and the European Union.

The demonstration on a national holiday in Prague's main square, organised by far-right and fringe groups and parties including the Communists, was estimated at "lower tens of thousands" by the Police, compared to 70,000 on Sept. 3 2023.
