School pupils take to the streets against Roman Giertych

Protests started in the internet. On the site www.bezgiertycha.rp4.pl the authors of the protest placed an appeal to the Prime Minister to remove the leader of the League of Polish Families (LPR) from the post. By Sunday noon, over 60,000 people had signed the petition. On Saturday, the protesters took to the streets of the largest Polish cities. Demonstrations in Warsaw were organized by pupils of middle and senior schools with about a thousand people taking part. "Roman Giertych has extreme views. He openly lies and someone who lies should not be the Education Minister," said Aleksander Pawłowski, a pupil and one of the organizers of Pupils' Initiative. (Rzeczpospolita, p. 5) S.D.
