Czech citizens gathered by the thousands Thursday to protest against President Milo Zeman. The crowd massed in Prague s Wenceslas Square to accuse Zeman of treason for allegedly directing the country into the arms of Russia and staying silent since the beginning of a diplomatic crisis involving Moscow and Prague.
That controversy began after Czechs accused Russian intelligence of being behind a deadly explosion at a munitions depot in 2014. Thursday s protest was called by Million Moments for Democracy, a group that formed after the 2017 general election in the Czech Republic. The group was previously focused on scandals involving Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babis.
