In addition, they could sign various petitions, including those calling on officials to take effective measures to improve the situation of the population. The tone of the event was set by the leader of the young political party “Right. Respect. Professionalism” (PUP) Jindrich Reichl, who was the main organizer of the action. He announced that the protest was directed “not only against economic poverty, but also against moral poverty”. “The Czech Republic should not be a vassal of either Brussels or Washington. Politicians must take full responsibility for the damage they caused to the property of citizens of the Czech Republic,” Reichl said. The politician called on the current Cabinet of Ministers to ‘recover the last vestiges of their honour’ and resign, and also threatened to blockade state buildings and call a general strike if officials refused to stand down. comply with the requirements of the walkers.
