Massive March in Warsaw Celebrates Polish Independence Day

Tens of thousands of nationalists marched in Warsaw to commemorate Polish Independence Day under the slogan "Poland is not yet lost." The event comes after Poland's nationalist Law and Justice party (PiS) lost its absolute majority in parliament in an election last month, making it unlikely for them to form a government. Opposition leader Donald Tusk called for moderation in an Independence Day video message, while PiS Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki is unlikely to win a confidence vote in the lower house of parliament. Tusk's liberal Civic Platform has entered coalition negotiations with two other parties, making him a likely candidate for prime minister.
