Greetings from Warsaw as Poland’s Nationalists Rally Ahead of Election

In Warsaw, Poland, thousands gathered in the streets to celebrate the 1,000th anniversary of BolesÅ‚aw the Brave’s coronation as king. The Law and Justice Party’s supporters waved flags, donned traditional costumes, and showed their patriotism as they waited for a crucial election. This rally marks one of the most important elections in Poland’s history, with the presidential candidate promising to deliver on national identity.

The event was a display of strong national pride, with many attendees wearing fur hats and embroidered costumes. Despite being in a crowded space, I was momentarily blinded by a flag that covered my head as the chanting crowd moved around me. The rally serves as a key moment in Poland’s political landscape ahead of this significant election.
