Thousands of people gathered in Warsaw on Friday for an annual march organised by Poland's far-right to mark Independence Day, with a handful carrying white supremacist or anti-gay banners and firing off red flares.
Marchers, including families with children as well as representatives of far-right groups, waved white and red Polish flags and chanted "God, Honour, Homeland" as they walked through central Warsaw amid a heavy police presence.
The annual event has become a point of friction between far-right groups and supporters of the nationalist Law and Justice government of Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on one side, and liberal Poles on the other. Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro, an arch conservative, said the march was an opportunity to show "unity and strength" at a time when Poland's sovereignty was no given, alluding to his critical view of the European Union.
Last year, the march focused on anti-immigrant rhetoric amid a migrant crisis when thousands of people mostly from the Middle East and Africa sought to cross into Poland from Belarus, but were pushed back by the Polish border guard.
