December 4, 1989: Protestors call for new cabinet's resignation

150,000 protestors gather to call for the resignation of Adamec's new cabinet. Havel's name again figures prominently in the crowd's chants. Civic Forum announces that the Prime Minister of the Czech Republic had already agreed to a new regional government in which the Communist Party would have a minority role, and that negotiations were continuing with the Federal government.
