Massive Anti-Government Protests Sweep Poland.
TL;DR
Hundreds of thousands of protesters marched in Warsaw and other cities across Poland on the 34th anniversary of the country's first post-war democratic election, in a demonstration against the right-wing Law and Justice (PiS) party. The opposition sees the legislation as a government attempt to launch a witch-hunt against political opponents. The EU's executive said the legislation could effectively ban individuals from holding public office without proper judicial review.
