Thousands marched in Warsaw to celebrate Poland's Independence Day amid heightened security due to a recent mass shooting and ongoing political tensions. The annual event commemorates Poland's restoration of independence in 1918, with participants waving national flags and wearing red and white scarves. Nationalist President Karol Nawrocki joined the procession, which was organized under the slogan advocating for Polish sovereignty. The march has historically sparked tensions between right-wing groups and the ruling centrists, who accuse it of promoting racism and antisemitism. Prime Minister Donald Tusk called for restraint amidst heightened political divisions following the shooting in Krakow, urging unity for Poland's independence and safety.
