MOSCOW (Sputnik) – Thousands of protesters have gathered in the Czech capital Prague to demand the resignation of the country’s center-right government and demand negotiations with Russia over gas supplies, media reported on Friday.

A national holiday demonstration in Prague’s main square was called by far-right political movements, radical groups and the country’s Communist Party, Prague Morning reported. Tens of thousands of people attended the rally, the newspaper said.

Protesters reportedly waved Czech flags, chanted “resign, resign” slogans, and hoisted banners calling for withdrawal from NATO and the EU.

“This is a new national renaissance, the goal of which is the independence of the Czech Republic,” event organizer Ladislav Vrabel reportedly told Prague Morning.

A small rally was held in Brno, another major Czech city, according to reports.

“Russia is not our enemy. The warmongering government is our enemy.

Western powers have imposed several sanctions on Russia, including in the energy sector, since the launch of special military operations in Ukraine on February 24. Supply chain disruptions are driving up fuel and food prices across the EU and US. It’s pushing inflation to record levels and sending the cost of living skyrocketing.

The Czech Republic is a staunch supporter of Ukraine, supplying heavy weapons to the Ukrainian army, hosting some 450,000 Ukrainian refugees, and providing medical care, financial assistance and work permits.
