Massive anti-government protest gears up in Poland

“Tens of thousands of Polish trade unionists kicked off a march through the capital on Saturday in the finale of a four-day protest against the unpopular and increasingly fragile centre-right government.  The protest reflects widespread public gloom over this year’s sharp economic slowdown in Poland, which has been dragged down by the eurozone crisis.  Their anger is centred on recent labour and pension changes.  ‘We want pensions at the age of 65 as before and not at the age of 67 as Tusk’s reform would have it. We want better social policy and guarantees for employees,’ Lewandowski said.  The union is also calling for a higher minimum wage and improved job security.”
