Hundreds of Thousands March in Warsaw to Protest Poland's Conservative Government

Citizens from across Poland traveled to Warsaw to protest the ruling Law and Justice party, which they say is eroding democracy and civil rights.
The opposition Civic Platform party organized the march on the 34th anniversary of Poland's first democratic election.
Former President Lech Walesa and former Prime Minister Donald Tusk addressed the crowd and pledged to unseat Law and Justice in October elections.
The Warsaw city government estimated 500,000 people attended the march, one of the largest protests since Poland transitioned to democracy.
Critics argue Law and Justice has taken over the judiciary and media, and that October's election may be Poland's last chance to preserve democracy.
