Minister as a proof of freedom, commemorated the Velvet Revolution surrounded by 6 gunmens
Shame on the government, the people shouted at Rakušan. Swearing is proof of freedom, he replied
Czech Interior Minister and chair of the STAN movement Vít Rakušan also arrived at the memorial plaque on Národní třída in the morning. He, like many other politicians representing the government, laid a wreath and lit a candle. However, several individuals in the crowd reacted negatively to his arrival, shouting slogans such as “shame on the government”. The Austrian replied that “the freedom to call politicians names is also part of the legacy of 17 November”.
