Czech Prime Minister Andrej Babiš dismissed protests against Slovakia's controversial media law amendment, claiming he does not understand the demonstrations and stating his only goal is to eliminate public broadcasting fees. Babiš said he wants the public to stop paying television and radio license fees, downplaying the significance of the opposition to the legislation. The ruling coalition plans to decide on the media law before Christmas, despite ongoing public resistance to the proposed changes.
