Thousands of people have marched through Warsaw in an event organized by nationalist groups as Poland celebrates its Independence Day holiday
Thousands of people walked through Warsaw on Saturday in a march organized by nationalist groups as Poland celebrated its Independence Day holiday, 105 years after the nation regained its statehood at the end of World War I. Participants carried Poland's white-and-red flag and some burned flares as they marched along a route leading from the city center to the National Stadium.
Donald Tusk, the winning coalition’s candidate to be the next prime minister, appealed for national unity in a message on X, stressing that the holiday is one that belongs to all Poles. “If someone uses the word nation to divide and sow hatred, he is acting against the nation,” said Tusk, who did not join the march. “Today our nation is celebrating independence. The whole nation, all of Poland.
