Czech public radio

Czech public broadcasters staged a warning strike against a government plan to shift funding from user fees to the state budget, which critics argue could threaten media independence. The plan, approved by Prime Minister Andrej Babiš's coalition government, would reduce funding by 15% and lead to layoffs and program cancellations.

Journalists and employees formed a human chain around the Czech public radio in Prague to protest a government plan to change funding for public broadcasters.
