The Protective Service evaluated the police intervention against demonstrators in the gallery of the Chamber of Deputies as justified and proportionate. The incident occurred during the discussion of a proposal to abolish television and radio fees. The use of coercive means was also deemed proportionate. ct24.ceskatelevize.cz ↗
However, the internal investigation criticized the instruction for the protesters to kneel. According to the review's conclusions, such a measure was not necessary and was disproportionate. This procedure became the main disputed point of the intervention. zpravy.aktualne.cz ↗
Police stated that its officers acted in accordance with the rules when dealing with the incident. At the same time, the review did not dispel the opposition ODS party's doubts about the overall proportionality of the intervention. The party is now awaiting further statements from the police. lidovky.cz ↗
The demonstrators were protesting against the proposal under discussion to abolish media fees. The intervention took place in the gallery area, from which the public observes the proceedings of the Chamber of Deputies. No further information was released about the number of people detained or any possible injuries. seznamzpravy.cz ↗
The result of the review is thus a differing assessment of the individual parts of the intervention. The police consider the actual maintenance of order and the use of coercive means to be justified, while the order to kneel was deemed to exceed proportionate conduct. Further developments may be influenced by the expected statements from police authorities and the opposition's reaction. denikn.cz ↗
