Warsaw rally saw people carrying anti-EU, anti-Ukraine and white supremacist banners. Tens of thousands of Poles including nationalist opposition chiefs walked through Warsaw on Monday in an annual Independence Day event held by the far right, some shooting red flares and carrying anti-EU, anti-Ukraine and white supremacist banners. Thousands carried red-and-white Polish flags on Monday, while some chanted “White Europe of brotherly nations!” or “Stop the European Union!” or carried banners reading “Stop mass migration” or “Stop turning Poland into Ukraine.” Some expressed their support for U.S. president-elect Donald Trump by waving his election campaign flag or the U.S. national flag. (…) The march has become a point of friction between Poland’s hard-right and conservatives on one hand and on the other, the liberal centre, in power since a general election last year ended eight years of nationalist rule. The far-right Confederation party, whose politicians are among the event organizers, appears to have edged up since the election, now polling at around 12 per cent, mirroring gains in parts of Europe in an anti-migration backlash.
