23:07
Under the slogan "We stay in the EU", in over a hundred Polish cities and towns, thousands of people yesterday manifested their support for Poland's membership in the Community. Donald Tusk, the head of the Civic Platform, called for participation in the demonstration in response to Thursday's judgment of the Constitutional Tribunal, which stated the superiority of national law over EU law.
The largest demonstration, which gathered around 100,000 people, took place in Warsaw, but similar ones took place in 160 cities, including in Kraków, Tricity, Poznań, Wrocław, Łódź, Lublin, Częstochowa, Rzeszów, Włocławek, Szczecin, Opole, or in Katowice, as well as in smaller towns throughout Poland. It was also manifested abroad, e.g. in Spain (Madrid), Great Britain (London, Oxford, Edinburgh), USA (New York), Canada (Toronto), Switzerland (Bern), Austria (Vienna), or Germany (Munich, Cologne, Berlin).
