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 (PiS) party. People march on the 34th anniversary of the first democratic elections in postwar Poland, in Warsaw on June 4, 2023. On Sunday, hundreds of buses arrived in Warsaw to bring opposition supporters from across the country. The opposition sees the legislation as a government attempt to launch a witch hunt against political opponents. “It’s beyond comprehension,” said Andrzej Majewski, 48, from Slupca in western Poland who was in Warsaw to join Sunday’s protest march

[1/2] People wait for a march organised by main opposition party the Civic Platform (PO) on the 34th anniversary of the first democratic elections in postwar Poland, in Warsaw, Poland, June 4, 2023. On Sunday, hundreds of buses were arriving in Warsaw to bring opposition supporters from across the country. Some said they were motivated by a row over legislation proposed by PiS to weed out undue Russian influence from the country. The opposition sees the legislation as a government attempt to launch a witchhunt against political opponents. "It's beyond comprehension," said Andrzej Majewski, 48, from Slupca in western Poland who was in Warsaw to join Sunday's protest march.
