Thousands gathered in Warsaw for an annual Independence Day march carrying Polish and nationalist group flags, an event the far-right organizers dedicated to uniformed "protectors of the border" amid an escalating migrant crisis at the country's eastern border, APA reports quoting Reuters.
Warsaw authorities had secured a court ban on the event that runs separately from official celebrations and has a history of occasional violence, but Poland's nationalist administration helped challenge the ban.
Marchers, including families with children but also representatives of nationalist groups like ONR, fired red flares and chanted "Viva, viva border guard" and "God, Honour, Homeland" as they walked through Warsaw.
March leaders warned against what they said were Western attempts to turn Poles into "pariahs", and condemned liberal Western political and cultural influences, saying Poles did not want to "kill unborn children".
