Massive Opposition Rally in Warsaw Ahead of Crucial Election
Hundreds of thousands of people gathered in Warsaw for an opposition rally ahead of a key election in Poland. The rally, organized by the liberal Civic Platform (PO), aimed to galvanize voters and address concerns over rising living costs and the erosion of democratic checks and balances under the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) government. While polls suggest PiS may win the election, forming a majority could be challenging. The opposition sees the election as crucial for minority and women's rights and fears that PiS may aim to take Poland out of the European Union.
