PRAGUE - Thousands of Czechs filled the center of Prague and other cities for a second week in a row to protest against the appointment of a new justice minister who they say they fear could meddle with a criminal case involving the prime minister.
The case against Babis, a billionaire with business interests in media, food and chemicals, centers on allegations he hid ownership of a farm and convention center a decade ago to get a 2 million euro EU subsidy for small businesses. Protesters carried signs calling for an independent justice system and for Benesova to resign. They chanted “We are not blind”.Czech police said on April 17 that Babis and others should stand trial for fraud, handing the case to prosecutors.
