“Tens of thousands of opponents of Poland’s centrist government massed in the capital Saturday for a protest called by trade unions, an ultra-Catholic movement and politicians. Organisers put the turnout at 100,000, while Polish media estimated the number at 40,000. Marchers from Solidarity — the iconic union which helped bring down Poland’s communist regime in the 1980s and now has close ties to Law and Justice — turned out to oppose to the government’s decision to raise the retirement age to 67. Poland is the only member of the European Union to have remained in growth since the global economic crisis struck in 2008.”
