Massive anti-government protests sweep Poland

Hundreds of thousands of protesters marched in Warsaw on Sunday, led by Poland's liberal opposition, to demonstrate against the nationalist government and its erosion of democratic norms. The opposition has struggled to gain support despite widespread criticism of the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party, which has been accused of endorsing homophobia and turning state media into a government mouthpiece. Opinion polls show that the upcoming election will be closely fought, with the PiS government benefiting from its stance against Russia's war in Ukraine.
