Summary
On April 10, 2016, an agitated crowd gathered in the center of Warsaw. The demonstration, dubbed the “million people march,” followed the customary Polish protest repertoire. The usual sea of Polish national flags and emblems of the Solidarity movement were on display. The march began with a mass in the Warsaw Cathedral before the crowd moved across the old town to the Presidential Palace. Heavily equipped police secured the perimeter of the demonstration, and small groups of counterprotesters were separated from the main gathering. Yet, there was something odd about this “protest” event. The angry demonstrators did not make any claims against the government in power. There were no specific demands or claims against the ruling party. Moreover, the main organizer of the demonstration – the Law and Justice party – was in power in Poland.
