- Thousands of people have been taking part in an anti-government rally in Poland's capital Warsaw.
They were protesting against a new law that critics say could be used to target opposition politicians in an election year.
There is due to be an election in Poland in October or November 2023.

There is an inaccuracy in this statement. The protests have been planned for two months. It was supposed to unite the prodemocratic voters in the day of the 34th first free election anniversary in Poland. The recent law only exaggerated the magnitude of this march.
Thats true. Donald Tusk announced this rally in April.
And what is this law?????
BBC is fodder news)
@@stuartlawsonbeattie1411 Apparently no body knows
They didn't even stated what "the new law is" so. That's explains everything.
It's odd that the BBC reports more on foreign demonstrations than on domestic ones.
Can you provide any examples? I’m not sure you are correct.
@@davidmacdonald1695 He is correct.
it’s normal to report global news, and it’s normal that there are more news in the world than domestic fair.
I don’t wanna hear my neighbors gave birth to a baby on BBC news.
@@davidmacdonald1695 They don't report on how fed-up people are with the monarchy.
@@davidmacdonald1695 hi, brit here: a number of worker unions went on strike recent few months: teachers, nurses, doctors, railworkers… only heard about rail strikes in news, despite the large number of people taking part in strike action across the country in other big unions. Absolutely nothing about the strikes by teachers, doctors, nurses made the newspapers, headlines, or news channels even on the strike days. Information was very limited to posts on social media.
You don't report most protests in England.
We have many media outlets so if the BBC wouldn't report it wouldn't mean we would not hear about anything
Protests about what? Not every brainfart deserves airtime on the news.
Of course not their Tory paymasters wouldnt like that.
It's by government design.

As usual!
Yes, because they are propagandists and not journalists!
Shame the BBC dont report protests in their own country, they can manage it for other countries but not when its on their own doorstep.
They try to make the Uk look perfect, this is part of that very tactic in order to calm people down so that they can keep on stealing tax. Greed is a very dangerous drug.
There was massive coverage of the Just Stop Oil protests. Oh, wait, couldn't you see that from Odessa?

You said a lot of things but nothing real about this law.
The beardo was at 45 degrees when it started. Looked like he'd had a few.
The experts in Poland say the new Bill is unconstitutional. It allows to ban certain civil rights from people without the proper court proceedings and proper legal defence. It also empowers the people chosen for the Commision to look at secret files, whatever those may be.
Stating that with the fact that Poland has oncoming elections in October, it's believed the proceeding are to discredit the opposition parties in the eyes of voters.
Its nonsense bro!
You're lying because half the experts think it breaks the constitution and the other half say it doesn't.
@@TruthCollider no, it isn't. I thoroughly read about it.
@@xena2559 OK. I trust you.
Depends on what "experts" you mean
Why not have an actual Polish person who actually Iives in Poland interviewed?

BBC never disappoints. In other countries narrative would be tens or hundreds of thousands, but never in EU, just thousands .
lol. Poland is in EU since almost 20 years.
listen from 2:36. Vishala says "....roughly half a million people have been there... " . I wonder why the BBC have "thousands" as a headline, and then say "half a million" in the story?
Stating facts is for the BBC is parallel to a vampire chewing garlic.
Fucc the BBC
they actually said "roughly half a million". Did you listen to this, or did you just comment after looking at the title?
Once again the BBC are selective on their reporting of protests and their support for left-wing motivated demonstrations in,particular.

This is a good sign. It does not look like it at first, but this is a living democracy. The government decides something and the people (the "demo" part in democracy) reject it. They have the right to demonstrate and find a majority. They do not get pushed down windows or killed in dark alleys like in Russia or Belarus.
Zelensky banned all political parties claiming they were pro-Russian. Zelensky jailed his opposition rivals including the runner-up of the Presidential election! Ukraine is a dictatorship.
PiS is still the most supported party
And the US.
@@ibrstellar1080 Ok Ivan TheBrainLess
Most of those people are activists bussed in from all over the country. We’re having this every election.
Please, take care of your own country. Don't give it to the EU or foreigners!
I agree that caution is merited here, but isn't there also a very, very legitimate fear that Russia is actively targeting Poland with everything available to the Ruscist security services? Russian strategy of "elite capture" is well known, and Poland is in the crosshairs, folks! Stay strong Poland 🇵🇱, much love and respect from USA 🇺🇸.
No doubt Russia is doing the same thing the US is doing
@@poohoff That is a bullshit false equivalency. The US and Russian intelligence services do not operate the same way. The US doesn't need to actively bribe and blackmail foreign governmental officials to advance its foreign policy goals. Russia, by contrast, must bribe, blackmail, and co-opt foreign elites because its only exports are oil, gas, and misery, whereas it can no longer lean on Communist ideology as a unifying point of commonality.
Oh, Poland is full of russian agents, though I'd say a fair number have yeeted from the sinking ship of the motherland. There's plenty of american hands to go around, too.
It's not a conspiracy or whatever, just a fact of how modern politics go.
It’s got nothing to do with Russia. Where you not listening. ? Poland wants it own sovereign laws back from the Eu.
Fuck u, hyena of the Europe. Be careful- u might chock
In a country with 38 million people, "thousands" protest. OH NO! REVOLUTION!
Half a million. That's five hundred thousand. Seriously, why do people comment on a video without actually listening to all of it?
So would not having it take effect post election not allow the law, and prevent it being called unfair. (also fair method of electing people to the commision).
This usually happens when ruling parties panic and feel threatened by opposition
exactly, like what the left is doing in Canada, US or most Western countries.
Like the UK
Ruling parties feel threatened by opposition !
They got the guaranty and support of USA, isn't it ?
Just ignore those protestors and carry on helping Ukraine everything will be fine.
@@delphinmagbakolikoa not really. Poland is helping Ukraine no matter which idiots are in the government at the moment. how did you manage to mix up USA and war in Ukraine into those protest? those protest were going long before the war and now it is going to intensify because it is election year. what guarantee of USA you talking about?
@@kamaz3000 How did I manage to mix up USA and war in Ukraine into those protest ?
Good question, but you should learn your lessons before coming to class, OK ?

hey, it would be great in your reporting if you could actually explain what the new law is. is the law to actually establish this new comission to look for political ties to russia within all polish politics?
Yes, it was called that, but in fact this law is against the constitution and will probably be used to win the October elections later this year (eliminate the opposition).
So in other words the man in the podium wants ties with Russia
This law is theoretically intended to look for russian agents and connections amongst the journalists and politicians however the comission that you mentioned, would have more power than the court and could sentence someone without a trial. This is the reason why so many people turned to streets. It's very likely that the ruling party will use this comission to ban the opposition leaders from taking part in the incoming election. Everyone is in favour of getting rid of Russian influence in Poland but not basing on the law that would harm basic human rights.
@@Derebaut Its nonsense. Parlimentary bodies like this dont have that power.
@@DerebautNonsense. Besides, politicians have immunity
Who won the Turkish elections? Didn't you tell us the the opposition would win with flying colors? For the BBC democracy means the side you support.
Strange this should be so important for the B B C to report on. You dont cover protests in Britain....
Like what?
Amazing I watched it all and the only thing that it is not said is what is the new law, you only say what the meaning is of how you see it, basic 101 manipulation tactic
yh of course the bbc hates the current polish government and the values of the polish people , the bbc loves making false reporting on Poland
This was NOT protest over "new law" as you said ! This was rally before election in Poland .
Exactly!
It was both
Communism
Is this what a democratic country looks like to you - that only people who share the same political views are admitted to the conferences of Donald Tusk's new government? these are Belarusian standards that the questions at the conference are already predetermined. And anyone who thinks otherwise is attacked.
The upcoming elections will be crucial for Poland's future. It's essential for the opposition to unite and present a strong alternative to the current government. The voice of the people needs to be heard and their concerns addressed.
Omg. 'Crucial'. I hear that during each and every election campaign in Poland for the past 20 years. What you can see in those 'protests' are 50-90k mostly party activists bussed in from the whole country to create a 'crowd'. It’s nothing more, nothing less.
AKA I want to enforce my views on a country of unwilling people. Classic westoid mentality
How dare bbc stick their nose into Polish affairs when the UK are looked upon as the most corrupted country in west Europe!
Didn’t these government mouthpieces notice the new anti protest laws in the UK ?
The Polish public are standing against the woke ! It really is this simple
Poland is fuckd either why lol
This people on the march are not the whole nation.

It's like pulling teeth to get them to explain what the law is I gave up a couple minutes in
Glad to see the Polish respect Democracy. Maybe they could teach the u.s. and the uk a little something about resisting legitimate fascism.
To foreigners who don't know what is actually happening: The 2nd largest party in Poland just can't understand that they lost 2 democratic elections. Actually the government only has about 35% of the votes but the opposition votes are so split that they always lose
That's true, but this has nothing to do with the law they're talking about. Also, if there's a coalition of two or three opposition parties, they will win the election and this is what the ruling party fears, which is why it's creating this illegal whip against the opposition.
This is wrong what you claim that the opposition in Poland is split because the opposition parties in Poland are largely united in the left-liberal political coalition Platforma Obywatelska - PO (Civic Platform). There is a similar political coalition with the right wing Zjednoczona Prawica ZP (United Rights). The right wing ZP will also win the upcoming elections and will most likely rule in a coalition together with the Konfederacja Wolność i Niepodległość (Confederation Liberty and Independence). In any case, the demonstrations will not prevent that.
All same
@@GreatPolishWingedHussars that's very likely. What is sad is that political expediency will make PiS run with a Russia-financed and Russia-controlled party that Konfederacja is. It's bad for Poland and it's bad for NATO.
@@johnnyenglish583 What you say about the Konfederacja is nonsense. The party is anti-Russian like unfortunately almost all Poles. This also comes from Polish articles of the Polish medine. Such as the article entitled: "A major turn against Russia and Putin. The new face of the Confederation speaks plain language" (Wielki zwrot ws. Rosji i Putina. Nowa twarz Konfederacji mówi wprost) In the article you can then on the subject that read: The new leader of the party Sławomir Mentzen emphasizes that for Poland the key is sovereignty, which he says should be threatened by Brussels, but the biggest enemy is Russia. Is that how friends of Russia speak...the biggest enemy is Russia? No!
This was to commemorate first semi-democratic elections in Poland after the Second World War that took place in 1989. Communists were wiped out by the Poles but the so called democratic opposition decided to keep agreement with the communists that enabled them to stay in the Parliament. For some reasons that day is very important to the current opposition. Greetings from PL
thanks to the "agreement" with the communists, there was peaceful handover of power instead of tanks in the streets.
Good luck Poland. If Tusk and his handlers from the European Parliament, Soros Open Society Foundation, etc take power it's the end of your nation. By the time they are done with you, there will be nothing left. They have already destroyed France beyond saving and Germany is next.
😂 😂 what are you talking about?😅 there is no protest in Poland. It's just an election campaign, no one even paid attention to him, his time ended centuries ago.
the protest is not against over a new law...as usual bbc changing the story
Dear All, and dear Mr Jeremy Bowen. May I, with repect, suggest that BBC reviews its own Charter and the Oxford dictionary definition of 'impartiality' and not simply the unverified tweetosphere and the often activist-driven social media. That might be a good start all round. Kind regards to all whichever side of politics you are.
Except Putin the Bar...
Start me off, why don't you?
There was half a million people there and the government TV ofc says there was barely 100k people, and Morawiecki laughs at them 🤬🤬🤬 what a toxicity, I hope they'll fall permanently soon.
If we’re making up numbers, let’s say there were 100 Millon people participating in the rally expressing their support for the sun of Peru.😂
No matter how you’re going to twist and turn, you’re going to lose the election again. This is only make people see PO as a more serious threat and mobilize the to vote against them.
RIP Poland! Once Tusk takes control you are finished as a nation and a people. It was nice knowing you, but it seems Poles want to suicide. Nice knowing you guys, shame that you destroyed yourselves to be occupied by the Germans yet again.
BBC didn't mention UK Government bringing in something similar backed by Labour.

Their.
Instead of the protest in Warsaw, the government media showed a "festival of country housewives". The day before the march, the ruling party recorded an election spot comparing the protesters to the Nazis from the Auschwitz camp. This is madness.
Lier.
I always get very worried when politicians talk about "the world seeing our strength". The world doesn't need more strong countries, it needs creative countries, kind countries and responsible countries. Being obsessed with glory and strength always seems to lead to war.
Weak countries are dead countries.
Strength doesn't mean agression.
Pacifism of western europe and appeasement towards Russia after 2014 brought us into current mess in Ukraine.
You haven't understood what he meant.
The Poles lost more people in WW2 by comparison than any nation in the European theatre.
They have a right to be suspicious of left-wing doctrine.
Feeding tyranny is digging your own grave.
Good for the Poles.
Brother, you completely misunderstood what he is saying. There can be a lot of things said about the Polish people (including bad things), but if there is 1 thing you can take as granted is that the Polish society is probably one of the strongest civic societies and have the strongest call of civic duty in the world (running the worlds biggest charity event every year, running the worlds biggest FREE music festival in the world, response of the Polish society to invasion of Ukraine and taking care of millions of Ukrainian refugees - many people dont know about how insanely well developed the civic society is in Poland, everyone has just that picture in their heads that Poland is that grey post-communist blob and their is nothing to see nor to engage with). This is what he meant.
Lot of people saying I misunderstood. It's entirely possible, and if so I mean no disrespect to the Polish. Their response to the Ukraine conflict has been nothing but heroic. I still stand by what I said in general through. We do need to value something other than strength and glory.
Poland: Tens of millions did *_NOT_* protest new law - (not the) BBC News
I never figured Poland would be having political strife, I learned something new, especially that if I heard right, it was under Communist rule as far back as the 1980's.
Almost up until the 1990s actually. The march today was also to commemorate the first partially free elections in Poland, which took place on June 4th 1989.

Very good to see that Polish people start recognising the path the current government is steering the country. Eroding civil society and democratic freedoms always is a first step towards dictatorship. Poland will hopefully not go down that road.
Dictatorship is when you need to get vaccinated, otherwise you will lose your job! Sounds familiar?

Not with traitor Hierr Donald TuSSk
It is my understanding that the topmost condition for the US to support any foreign government, is that it must be a democracy and respect human rights. So I presumed that the current Polish government meets the tough conditions set by the US, or it will end up in the same boat like China, getting sanctioned and called a human rights abuser by the US.
Are the demonstrators now saying that the current Polish government is neither a democracy nor respecting human rights? I would like to hear what Blinken and his cohorts say about this.
It's funny how leftist media are dragging Poland through the dirt, over and over again. You know who was on this march? There were representatives of those who used to rule Poland when it was under the soviet boot, ex-communist officials, members of then Poland's security police, services who were killing those who fought against soviet rule in 70's-80's, those who were prosecuting and sending freedom fighters to jails, and those who betrayed Solidarity to make lucrative deals in a new Poland after collapse of soviet block. Let this sink in and especially now when there is ex-soviet KGB officer Putin who wages war on Ukraine.
The demonstrators are full of s. While screaming at the top of their lungs how Poland is undemocratic and authoritarian they enjoy all the freedoms of modern western democratic nation and are about to enter the election which they hope to win.
Come on BBC an ex EU leader who was disliked at best when he was in power, fighting an anti EU party. Why not try that angle? Could he be being funded to oust the incumbent party ?

WHAT law are they protesting?
Kinda like what Bibi is doing in Israel,I hear you and got you covered
These people are just a small niche minority. Don't be fooled.
Watched the whole video - have no idea what ‘the new law’ is actually about.
Basically they're going to appoint a commission to research Russian influence in polish politics since 2007. In 2007 current govt lost power to current opposition who ruled untill 2015.
This commission can ban people from being in charge of public money without a court trial, which is unconstitutional. So basically ban them from running in elections? The law is vague.
It's also unspecified what exactly is Russian influence and up to the commision to decide. So they can take anything positive someone said about Russia years ago and eliminate them from public life.
So they can basically ban opposition leaders from running by calling them Russian agents.
Or at the very least get a powerfull tool to call them Russian agents in public/party media.
It appears that way at least, given how this law is phrased and what current govt did in the past.
Everyone wants to get rid of Russian influence but it seems like it's only an excuse for attacking opposition in elections year.
@@grzegorzbrzeczyszczykiewic1139 huh. Well why couldn’t the BBC put it like that?! Thanks.
what "law"?
When the current party starts to introduce legislation to use against opposing parties, the end of democracy isn't far away.
It can be tough fighting to keep your freedom, but not as tough as fighting to get it back once it's been lost.
This is ridiculous and absurd what you claim! This is only claimed by the left-wing propaganda, because a right-wing party governs in Poland!
Sorry for my poor english. I'm Polish. it was an election rally of the opposition party. with the controversial name "anti-government" was organized by the opposition. it is not a grassroots and automatic movement, an expression of dissatisfaction by society. I do not identify myself with this election rally, even though I am not a supporter of the current government in Poland. An election rally of an opposition with an interesting name.
Dont care lol
Target opposition politicians in an election year? Did these folks take a page out of the America Democrat Party and FBI playbooks?
Witam z Polski wspierajcie nas jak kiedyś w stanie wojennym Radio Wolna Europa pozdrawiam

@@marek.f7504 tylko PiS ❤kanalio
I was there ❤❤❤
So what? The right wing will still remain in power in Poland!
@@GreatPolishWingedHussars I dont think so...
@@girltravellingalone2961 This will happen and the right wingers will continue to rule in Poland! They get enough electoral help from abroad, just like the knife attack in France and the blackmail by the EU.
Big protest in Leeds yesterday over the governments part in the Kallergi plan ...BBC seemed to ignore that m..just like they ignored Savile
I found it almost impossible to follow the broken, rambling explanation of the ''expert'' who was required to explain in simple straightforward terms what the putative Law did and why it was wrong.
If an expert cannot describe something in understandable terms it is tempting to assume that they do not really understand it.
To govern, you have to win elections. Demonstrations in the streets are not enough. For now, the opposition is losing in the polls. The ruling party has more support. The ruling party has support because it has taken care of ordinary people, bending to the fate of the poorest. Besides, Poland's economic growth in recent years has been the highest in history. What you are observing is just a normal political struggle between liberals and conservatives. I am a conservative, so I will vote for the ruling party.
Greetings from Poland!
I'm also a conservative because social harmony and order are important to me, that's why I value highly the rule of law, which ensures order and predictability, and tolerance which ensures mutual respect and peace in a society. That's why I will never vote for the ruling party which disregards completely the two things mentioned above that I value so dearly!
Greetings from Poland!
I have Trudeau in Canada. Woke is not a democracy. I'm a conservative, so I will vote for PIS and Pierre Polievere.
Is this what a democratic country looks like to you - that only people who share the same political views are admitted to the conferences of Donald Tusk's new government? these are Belarusian standards that the questions at the conference are already predetermined. And anyone who thinks otherwise is fought and destroyed. Donald Tusk recently said in an interview that Poles with other right-wing views are a problem for him.
Propaganda & communist is back!
Is donald tusk a child of donald trump and elon musk?
God please no
Not even close
Haven’t even told us what the new law is, let alone explain what it means. I really hate to read newscast like this you give no information you give a bear explanation and then think you’ve made some kind of statement important to us.
