Sunday’s demonstrations motivated by concerns Poland could leave the bloc
Protests have been sparked across Poland after the country’s top court ruled that Polish law will be prioritised over E.U. law.
Protestors flocked to over 100 towns and cities on Sunday, with about 100,000 people turning out in Warsaw alone.
This comes amidst fears that Poland may exit the European Union, after the court deemed E.U. laws to be incompatible with the constitution.
Former President of the European Council attended the rally in Warsaw, calling on people to “defend a European Poland”.
Opposition politicians, activists and artists were amongst those participating in the demonstration.
E.U. leaders have condemned the Polish government saying it rejected the central value that E.U. law has primacy over national legislation in certain judicial areas.
