Preparations are under way on Prague’s Letná for Sunday’s “Letná against 4:36” demonstration, held under the slogan “Hands off the media!” It is being called by the “Million Moments for Democracy” association. According to event manager Robin Suchánek, more than two hundred technicians and volunteers are now working on the plain, and the stage is already standing. The organizers expect a higher turnout than at the spring demonstration.
How the site will be laid out
The area will be divided into eleven sectors, with one more for families with children and one for people with limited mobility. The sectors will be separated by safety corridors for paramedics, firefighters, volunteers and the anti-conflict team. On Saturday the first corridors, tents and long rows of portable toilets were already going up between the sectors.
Because of the expected turnout, 30 more toilets were added — 130 in total, plus the sets of male urinals familiar from festivals. Thirteen large LED screens will be installed. Nearby, opposite the Sparta stadium, a winter ice rink has appeared, but it is not part of the demonstration and, according to the organizers, will not operate during the day.
Suchánek warned that the site looks like a music festival, but this is a demonstration, so there will be no food stalls. He advised bringing hot drinks in thermoses: it will get noticeably colder by Sunday, the sun already sets behind the Prague Castle skyline before half past four in the afternoon, and Sunday may bring around 5 degrees.
How much it costs
According to Mikuláš Minář, head of “Million Moments,” the event will cost 8 million crowns, of which about 5.5 million has been raised. That is 10–15 percent more than the spring event, because this one is larger. Minář is counting on hundreds of thousands of participants.
What this means for foreigners
This affects everyone traveling to the Letná area by public transport on Sunday, foreigners included. From about 11:30 to 19:00 all metro lines will run with extra service, and from 12:00 to 19:00 a temporary tram line 40 will run from Červený vrch through Dejvice, Letná and Karlín to Palmovka. From 12:00 to 14:30 line 44 will run from Špejchar through Letná and Holešovice and back.
