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.

Kurdish party's decision not to field candidate boosts opposition's chances in Turkey's election.

Turkey's pro-Kurdish Peoples' Democratic Party (HDP) has announced that it will not field a candidate in the upcoming presidential elections, giving indirect support to Erdogan's rival, Kemal Kilicdaroglu, and reducing the possibility of a split in the anti-Erdogan vote. The HDP's decision is seen as a setback for Erdogan, who once enjoyed support from Kurdish voters but now accuses the HDP of being the political wing of the PKK militants. Erdogan's far-right allies are trying to dissolve the HDP over its alleged terror ties.
