Hundreds of thousands of protesters gathered in Warsaw for a march the liberal opposition has billed as a test of its ability to end nearly eight years of nationalist rule
Crowds stretching for at least a mile marched with banners reading “Free, European Poland,” “European Union yes, PiS no,” referring to the governing Law and Justice party. Some held masks of ruling party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski that had the word “shame” written on them. Half a million people were marching, according to organizers. Police and city officials did not give an estimate. Thousands also marched in other Polish cities and towns.
“Democracy dies in silence but you’ve raised your voice for democracy today, silence is over, we will shout,” he said in a speech at the end of the march. “There’s half a million people in the streets of Warsaw, it’s an absolute record,” he told the crowds filling Castle Square in the capital. Tusk called for unity despite political differences in the opposition and promised victory in elections that will be held in October or November.
