Organisers said that up to 50,000 were on the march which marked the anniversary of Poland's independence after the Second World War

Tens of thousands of protesters poured into Warsaw's streets on Wednesday for a demonstration organised by the far right, marching under the slogan "Poland for the Polish" and burning an EU flag.

Police said 25,000 people joined the march, which marked the anniversary of Poland's return to independence after the Second World War, while organisers put the numbers at 50,000.

"God, honour, homeland," chanted the protesters as they marched under a sea of red-and-white Polish flags.

Demonstrators trampled and burned a European Union flag at one point, while a banner added to the anti-EU theme with the slogan "EU macht frei" ("Work makes you free" in German), a reference to the slogan over the gates at Auschwitz.

"Yesterday it was Moscow, today it's Brussels which takes away our freedom," chanted one group of protesters.

Other banners read "Great Catholic Poland" and "Stop Islamisation".

I keep telling people that Islamic immigration to Europe is the biggest news story of this century so far. There is no overstating the impact. The life or death of Western Civilization hangs in the balance.

Elites want to commit civilizational suicide.

A few people want to resist.

muslims want to kill every European.

Any questions?

No doubt.

Poland isn’t going to disappear from the map until the last Pole goes down this time.

"EU macht frei" ("Work makes you free" in German)

No, it isn't. It is "EU makes you free". The writer used a falsehood to make his point. The point itself was accurate.

Święto Niepodległosci, celebrates independence after WWI not WWII. When the Germans signed the armistice in 1918, they were forced by the Poles to leave as they were the then occupying power.
