(AP-ANSA) - PRAGUE - Thousands of Czechs have used the
anniversary of their country's 1989 anti-communist Velvet
Revolution to rally against Prime Minister Andrej Babis. The
protesters gathered Saturday afternoon in front of Prague
Castle, the seat of the Czech presidency. They set off on a
march to the city's Old Town Square, demanding the resignations
of Babis and his ally, President Milos Zeman. Babis has been
charged with misusing European Union subsidies for a farm he
transferred to family members, including his son, Andrej Babis
Jr. The Czech leader denies wrongdoing. His son told Czech news
portal Seznam Zpravy this week he was kept in Crimea against his
will so he couldn't be questioned in the case. Babis has said
his son, who lives in Switzerland, is mentally ill and in Crimea
voluntarily. (AP-ANSA).
