PRAGUE - Thousands protested around the Czech Republic on Monday against a justice minister nominee they fear might meddle with a criminal case involving the prime minister.
President Milos Zeman will appoint Marie Benesova on Tuesday after the resignation of her predecessor, bringing opposition accusations of pressure on courts as Andrej Babis faces a potential fraud trial over European Union subsidies more than a decade ago. Czech police said on April 17 that Babis and others should stand trial for the alleged fraud involving the handling of a 2 million euro EU subsidy - charges that could see the prime minister jailed for up to 10 years.
On Monday, protesters marched from the Prague Castle, the seat of the Czech president, through the capital’s medieval center to the Old Town Square. Marchers chanted “We have had enough” and organizers carried banners saying “Justice”.In the country’s second largest city, Brno, around 3,000 marched, according to estimates of news website SeznamZpravy.cz.Benesova had previously served in a caretaker cabinet in 2013, appointed by President Zeman - who has backed Babis.
