Thousands of people have marched in Warsaw, protesting against Poland’s conservative government, 27 years since the fall of communism. Opposition leaders, including two former Presidents, led the rally against what they describe as the government’s anti-democratic policies. The ruling Law and Justice party has been criticised by the European Union over its reforms of the judiciary, surveillance, and media laws. The party rejects the accusations.

yesterday’s demonstration in the Polish capital was organised by Committee for the Defence of Democracy.
