Political rallies and May Day celebrations held around Czechia
Political parties held rallies in Prague and other cities on Labour Day. The ruling Civic Democrats and parties in the SPOLU coalition organized an event for voters in Kampa Park, while the Communist Party and the Social Democrats met with their supporters on Prague's Střelecký ostrov. The main opposition party ANO kicked off their campaign for the European elections in Zlin.
Police were out in force for an anarchists' march through the Prague city centre, but no incidents were reported.
For many Czechs, May 1 is a celebration of love, the equivalent of Valentine’s Day, and students traditionally organize a May Day parade.
