Employees of Czech Television (ČT) and Czech Radio (ČRo) began a warning strike Monday protesting government plans to alter the funding model for public media. The protests, held at the broadcasters’ headquarters in Prague, included readings of works by Karel Čapek, a minute of silence, and symbolic embraces of the buildings. Organizers express concern that the proposed funding changes will weaken the independence of both ČT and ČRo. The strike aims to highlight fears about potential government influence over public service broadcasting. The government maintains the changes are necessary for financial efficiency. Further protests and industrial action are anticipated if the government proceeds with its plans. The situation raises questions about media freedom within the Czech Republic.
