Polish far-right sympathisers are set to march through Warsaw on Thursday in an annual Independence Day gathering after Poland’s nationalist rulers helped challenge a court ban on the event. The march comes as the country faces an unprecedented wave of migration along its border with Belarus.
Critics say in lending a hand to the march – an event marked by occasional violence with demonstrators waving xenophobic banners – Poland’s ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party is giving overt support to the far-right.
