Protests in Prague over proposed end to public broadcast license fee

Demonstrations have taken place in Prague following government legislation to abolish the license fee funding public radio and television. The measure, advanced by the government of Prime Minister Andrej Babiš, transitions public broadcaster funding directly to the state budget. The full scale of the demonstrations and any official response remain unconfirmed.
