Anti‑immigration protests have taken place in dozens of towns and cities across Poland.
Most demonstrations attracted several hundred people or fewer on Saturday - but police estimated that about 3,000 took part in the largest rally in the southern city of Katowice.
The protests were organised by far-right political group Konfederacja, and another nationalist organisation.
Politicians from Konfederacja and the opposition Law and Justice party have been warning about a flood of illegal migration in Poland - but official figures do not support their claims.
We have immigrants in Poland? Are You telling me, people actually want to come here?
I was looking to get my citizenship there through my descendants.
I stopped when I saw leadership in Poland seems…compromised. I figured if both places I can live are under Russian influence I might as well stay where I know my neighbors.
Yes, recently a lot of people came here. With various skin colours. From the East, from the South, but even from the West (a lot of Americans would rather live here). I love seeing them in my city, hearing all those different languages. Also: Ukrainian shops, Georgian bakeries, various Asian restaurants – these make the city a better place to live for everybody.
But there are people who chose hatred instead. Of course only those with darker skin are considered threat. Or speaking Russian-like language (which includes Ukrainians and Belarusians).
When no migrants were coming here the nationalists/racists were mostly ridiculous, but now they are great threat to many people who live here, or just come here for a visit.
I was only joking, but damn, that was a good answer.
Poland is no utopia, but a lot of places are objectively worse.
