Poland – 200,000 Patriots March In Warsaw For Independence Day (Video)

The Polish celebration of their Independence Day this year is unique. It's been exactly 100 years since Poland reappeared on the maps of Europe.

The 100th anniversary of regaining statehood is also an important event from a political point of view. The ruling conservatives want to show that they are uniting right-wing circles (hence the joint March of Independence, in which both PiS representatives and marginalized right-wing nationalists were set to march).

But November 11th will also be remembered as a symbol of division in Poland.

The start of the march saw two groups divided: PiS, the ruling government party, representatives moved to the front of the march whilst the nationalists stayed behind.

At this moment there are two separate manifestations: the state march "For You Poland" and the March of Independence.

Italian neo-fascists from Forza Nuova also came to Warsaw to celebrate the Independence Day, they could be seen carrying Celtic crosses.

According to the official estimates from the Ministry of Interior and Administration, Mr. Joachim Brudziński of the Law and Justice Party, around 200,000 people are taking part in the marches in Warsaw.

Earlier this week, the liberal mayor of Warsaw had tried via court order to block the march, as she feared violence and racist banners. A judge denied her request, however.
