Tight security as thousands gather for far-right Polish march
- On Wednesday, Poland deployed extra police in Warsaw as thousands gathered for the annual Independence Day march amid heightened political tension following a mass shooting in Krakow.
- Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski stated the gunman, 24-year-old MichaB OksiDski, held "very radical views" and "was fascinated by far-right ideologies." OksiDski killed six people in Krakow on Nov 7 before dying in a shootout.
- Police discovered three bodies at OksiDski's family home in Ostrowiec Swietokrzyski, about 93 miles northeast of Krakow. The market square attack also left 15 people injured, including a British national.
- Prime Minister Donald Tusk appealed for restraint, warning that political divisions threaten Poland's common good. Tusk urged citizens to prioritize unity over partisan conflict.
- Organizers expect record turnout including foreign nationalists under the motto "A Pole is the host in Poland." Critics argue the march platforms racism, while organizers maintain it expresses national pride.
