The firecrackers crack deafeningly and a Bengal fire is lit. The anger of Poland’s farmers is great. Beekeepers and hunters also show solidarity with them. A look at the major rally in Warsaw.
EThe four demonstrators in the underpass in the center of Warsaw seem a bit perplexed: Krystian, his sister Katarzyna, Paweł and Grzegorz from the Miechów district in southern Poland. They are not alone. Hundreds of people push forward with national flags and banners still rolled up. Where is the Palace of Culture, please?
The massive building from the Stalinist era will be the backdrop this Tuesday for a “star march” by demonstrators from all over Poland, mainly farmers. Buses were parked in the square in front and several thousand people gathered long before the start. Some farmers are making noise. Firecrackers crack deafeningly, strong men take a deep breath and blow their bright red horns. For this purpose, Bengali fire is lit, as is part of Polish demo folklore. Apparently there is no violence.
