A broad coalition of trade unions, NGO’s and other civic groups, united in the platform ‘Stop to the Government’, mobilised thousands in a demonstration and a march in Prague on November 17. The leadership of the trade union CMKOS said the government had lost the mandate to lead the country after the recent regional and Senate elections and that this is the worst government the country has had. The protest event under the motto ‘Democracy Looks Different’ was held on the day of the Velvet Revolution that toppled the communist regime in 1989.
