Anti-Zeman protest planned for Monday evening

A protest demonstration against President Miloš Zeman is planned for central Prague on Monday evening. Opponents of the president are planning to carry red cards, echoing a protest held on November 17, and wear red clothes on the march from Wenceslas Square to Prague Castle. Almost 100,000 people have signed a linked online petition calling for abdication of the head of state, the news site Echo24.cz reported on Sunday. Mr. Zeman has been criticised for his views on China and Russia and for an expletive-dotted live radio interview.
