## Resource

Thousands flood Prague’s streets protesting a government plan to shift public broadcaster funding from fees to state budget money—seen as a dangerous step toward political control of media, echoing trends in Slovakia and Hungary. As TV staff prepare for a warning strike, organizers insist media belongs to the public, not politicians. The move threatens hundreds of jobs, while the Prime Minister claims media just needs to cut costs. This funding debate fits into a wider government agenda of distancing from Ukraine and questioning EU policies. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
