布拉格，10月25日电 - 周日，数千人在布拉格抗议，此前政府议员在一次罕见的通宵表决中，尽管面临批评称该改革将损害媒体独立性，仍对公共媒体资金变更法案给予初步支持。
PRAGUE, Oct 25 - Thousands protested in Prague on Sunday after government lawmakers gave initial backing to public media funding changes in a rare overnight vote despite criticism the overhaul will damage media independence.
该提案的一读被意外提交至众议院全会审议，且不在原定议程顺序之内，时间为周五。反对派和媒体倡导团体反对加速推进该立法，该法案将取消目前为捷克公共电视台和电台提供资金的家庭收费。
The proposal's first reading was unexpectedly brought to the lower house floor outside the planned order of proceedings on Friday. Opponents and media advocacy groups have objected to fast-tracking the legislation, which will abolish household fees that currently fund Czech public television and radio stations.
亿万富翁总理安德烈·巴比什领导的民粹主义政府，在极右翼自由直接民主党（SPD）支持下，经常与公共和私营媒体发生冲突。
The populist government of billionaire Prime Minister Andrej Babis, backed by the far-right SPD party, has frequently clashed with public and private media.
政府希望将捷克电视台和捷克电台的资金来源转为国家预算，批评者称这将使广播机构容易受到政治压力。
It wants to move funding for Czech Television and Czech Radio to the state budget, which critics say will leave broadcasters vulnerable to political pressure.
抗议领袖称政府“走得太远” 巴比什表示，这关乎资金透明度，而非攻击独立性。

周五该法案意外提交后，首先爆发了小规模抗议。自由直接民主党籍议长托米奥·奥卡穆拉限制了辩论，并将表决定在周六凌晨4点36分（格林威治标准时间0336）。该法案目前处于委员会阶段，稍后将进行表决。
Smaller protests first broke out on Friday at the bill's unexpected introduction. Speaker Tomio Okamura of the SPD limited debate and scheduled a vote for 4:36 a.m. (0336 GMT) on Saturday. The bill is now at the committee stage before a later vote.
“巴比什先生……奥卡穆拉先生，这个国家没有人相信你们的初衷是纯洁的，”抗议领袖米库拉什·米纳尔周日表示，批评通宵表决。
"Mr Babis ...
他对填满布拉格历史悠久的老城广场的抗议者说：“（这次抗议）向这届政府传递了一个明确信息：你们这次真的走得太远了。”现场响起“辞职”和“我们受够了”的呼喊声。组织者计划举行更多抗议活动。
Mr Okamura, nobody in this country believes that your intention was pure," Mikulas Minar, a protest leader, said on Sunday, criticising the overnight vote. "(This protest) is a clear message to this government: you have really gone too far this time," he told protesters who had filled Prague's historic Old Town Square, amid chants of "Resignation" and "We've had enough". Organisers plan further protests.
公共媒体享有高度信任 捷克电视台是该国主要年龄段收视率最高的广播机构。根据2025年路透社新闻研究所调查，公共媒体属于该国最受信任的新闻来源之一。
TRUST HIGH IN PUBLIC MEDIA Czech Television is the country's most-watched broadcaster across major age groups. Public media are among the most trusted news sources in the country, according to a 2025 Reuters Institute survey.
该提案将削减捷克电视台和捷克电台约15%的资金，可能最早在明年生效。
The proposal would cut funding for Czech Television and Czech Radio by about 15%, possibly as early as next year.
反对党将这些资金变革与匈牙利前总理欧尔班·维克托执政下的改革相提并论，后者监督了亲政府媒体的大幅扩张。
Opposition parties have compared the funding changes with reforms in Hungary under former Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who oversaw a major expansion of pro-government media.
