Thousands of opponents of Poland’s new right-wing government held protests in Warsaw and other cities on Saturday against policies which they say threaten democracy and media freedom.
The street protests were organized by a new group calling itself the Committee for the Protection of Democracy that rallied tens of thousands of Poles last month against the ruling Law and Justice party.
This time, thousands of people waving national white-and-red flags and European Union flags joined in the capital, as well as in the cities of Wroclaw, Krakow, Katowice, Lodz and elsewhere.
