Anti‑immigration protests have taken place in dozens of towns and cities across Poland.
Most demonstrations attracted several hundred people or fewer on Saturday - but police estimated that about 3,000 took part in the largest rally in the southern city of Katowice.
The protests were organised by far-right political group Konfederacja, and another nationalist organisation.
Politicians from Konfederacja and the opposition Law and Justice party have been warning about a flood of illegal migration in Poland - but official figures do not support their claims.

A strong claim, but justified if - according to the article - all these protest were organised by only 2 parties, both nationalist.
Fuck the whole “we have an immigration problem” narrative, globally. Fear of otherness has always been a strong political manipulation device.
In March, Poland temporarily suspended the right of migrants arriving in the country via its border with Belarus to apply for asylum.
Now this is a completely separate problem. One that has Russia and Hybrid Warfare written all over it. Do not mix them up with general xenophobia (though no doubt that’s exactly what these
nationalistfascistic parties are doing).Now this is a completely separate problem. One that has Russia and Hybrid Warfare written all over it.
Even if ‘Hybrid Warrfare written all over’, the people being used there, are still people and should have their rights and dignity preserved. Do not let people die just because ‘Russia sent them’.
