Patriotic Poles Take to Warsaw’s Streets Celebrating Independence Day – Nationalist Forces Show Strength Ahead of Struggle to Form New Government
Poland took to the streets on Saturday November 11, to celebrate independence day. It’s 105 years since it regained its statehood at the end of World War I.
And while the liberal coalition led by former EU Commissioner Donald Tusk signed a deal and claim to have parliamentary majority, on the other hand the nationalist forces proved yet once again that they have – the streets.
Many patriotic events take place across Poland that mobilize many of its 38 million citizens – but the Independence March is always the most impactful.
A massive crowd walked through Warsaw in the march organized by nationalist groups.
Poland’s white-and-red flag and burning flares were widespread, as they trod along a route leading from the city center to the National Stadium.
