On Saturday, anti-immigration marches under the slogan 'Stop Immigration' took place in more than 80 Polish cities. Some of them were accompanied by counter-manifestations by left-wing circles. A total of 100 public gatherings were reported across the country.
Anti-immigration protests organised by the far-right Confederation Libery and Independence party took place in more than 80 cities across Poland, including in Warsaw, Krakow, Poznan, Wroclaw, and Bialystok.
Demonstrators demanded the closure of the borders with Lithuania, Ukraine, Belarus and Slovakia.
