Story summary

On November 11, 2026, thousands gathered for a far-right march in Warsaw, Poland, amidst tight security measures and political tension following a mass shooting that killed six people in Krakow. The annual Independence Day march, which has been held since 1918 to commemorate the end of partition by Russia, Prussia, and Austria, drew criticism from governing centrists who accuse it of promoting racism and antisemitism, while participants claim it expresses national pride under the motto "A Pole is the host in Poland." Prime Minister Donald Tusk appealed for restraint amid heightened political divisions after ministers suggested that far-right ideology motivated the Krakow gunman. The march also saw increased international participation, with nationalists from across Europe expected to attend.
