PRAGUE (AP) — Thousands of high school and university students marched through the Czech capital on Wednesday to protest against a government plan to overhaul and reduce funding for public radio and television. “We won’t let you take the media,” protesters chanted. Smaller protests were organized across the country. The new coalition government led by populist Prime Minister Andrej Babiš drafted the plan to scrap the fees that individuals, households and businesses pay to access the outlets.
