More than 30,000 people are protesting against the Czech government in central Prague on Sunday, Czech news portal Idnes reported.

A rally titled the "Czech Republic Against Poverty" was organized by the recently formed PRO party and started at 2 PM local time in Prague's Wenceslas Square.

The purpose of the demonstration is to turn the government's attention to the worsened living conditions in light of the recent deterioration due to rising costs for services, fuel, food, and electricity in the country.

A number of parliamentary and non-governmental opposition representatives, as well as experts in the fields of economics, law, and foreign affairs, will address the protestors during the rally. Jindrich Rajchl, the head of the PRO, will give the keynote address.

Those taking part in the rally will sign a petition demanding the government take strong and effective measures to enhance the living conditions of Czech citizens.

Interior Minister Vit Rakusan said the police were ready to take all necessary measures to maintain order and protect public institutions after the PRO party announced its intention to march on government buildings and blockade them.

The minister noted that the actions of multiple protesters on March 11 after a PRO demonstration ended were unacceptable.

Protestors tried to storm the National Museum in an attempt to bring down a large Ukrainian flag that was raised as a symbol of Czech support for Kiev.

The confrontations led to 20 arrests and 3 injuries among police officers.

The organizers asked demonstrators to avoid carrying any Ukrainian or Russian flags in today's rally.
