Far-right Independence Day march draws thousands in Poland 

I guess everything looks far right, when you're far left.

It's not right, left or centrum day march, it's our Polish Independence Day - burst of freedom after years of occupation of our country. The same as Independence day in USA, birthday of Queen (now King) in UK and Bastille day in France.

Learn some history Global News. Happy Independence Day Poland!❤

Congratulations to our Polish brothers from Croatia

Proud Polish people 👏 True European nation ! Respect from Serbia!

Everything patriotic is "far right" nowadays... Look, this march brings together people from all political options. Left, right or center; men and women; adults and children; blacks, asians and whites - everyone is welcome.

Amazing people. God bless Poland.

Where's the "far-right" I keep hearing about?

I'm on the left but it seems way to easy to label so much outrage as "far right". If people don't embrace the rainbow then apparently they are far right as well.

Being happy of being independent is being far-right now... Perfect example of - 'Tell me you are biased leftist without telling me you are biased leftist.'

Global do you even know what far right means? What about radical left? Socialists? Communists?

Poland never disappoints

huge respect to poland

Far right.....is that the opposite of near wrong?

Keep the Poland rolling 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱Happy Independence Day !

Great country , great nation. Canada used to be similar now long gone.❤ 🇵🇱

Such a misleading and dishonest title! What is your agenda?

Wonderful. Probably the only country in the world that celebrates like this.

Poland ❤️❤️❤️

We have the right to preserve our culture and national colors. This is a celebration of joy, gratitude for the freedom that we have and which we can enjoy ONLY thanks to the sacrifice of patriots who sacrificed their lives so that Poland could exist.

Change the title without the far right. You are misleading viewers. It’s Independence Day, so offensive. I’m glad Canada is having it’s far right remembrance day ceremony.

Opposing views is far right now.

“Far right” 😂 what a joke

As an English man love the slav love in the comments ❤️ Just to add if we fly the English flag they call it racist, happy to see that pride in your country has not died...

Happy INDEPENDENT DAY POLAND 🇵🇱. Freedom, INDEPENDENT, PEACE FOR ALL ,ESPECIALLY FOR UKRAINE .THOSE PEOPLE NOT FAR RIGHT, THEY ARE PATRIOTS WHO CELEBRATE THEIR INDEPENDENT JUST LIKE, FRENCH OR AMERICAN.

good job Poland

Far right.... Global news.... must mean family oriented, anti crime, small government....

Jeszcze Polska nie zginęła

Beautiful every year. ❤

Justin Trudeau could learn from Poland the greatest political country

God bless Poland, may she be Patriotic, free & Independent!

To the Polish, independence means so much more than you think. I wouldn’t call a celebration like this “far right”, rather general appreciation in the highest level.

Ahhh, the far left critising the right, not the far right. Be gone hypocrite.

Far right because everyone they interviewed talked about peoples right to live their own lives

Far right ? XD

These days having an opinion is far right....right?

Poland, Europa's Last Stand

Global News needs to change its name to _Global Pravda_ .

Stop the smearing campain Canada how about you show the 99% of the participants instead of the 1%? You can't even be decend on Polands most important national day.

Niece Zyje Polska!!!.... God Bless Poland 🇵🇱

Loving this tbh. I'm not even Polish, but this is cool. 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱

Far right? We're just proud polish patriots.

Glory to Poland and Ukraine 🇵🇱⚡️🇺🇦

What a disrespectful way of misleading the public. If its not nationalist, it's far right, or other etc. Where were you when Poland was partitioned and disappeared for around 100 years from the ''map''? Where were you in 1939? where was your voice when Poland got "sold" to Russia at Yalta? Where was your ''democratic'' voice when Poland became a communist country of not it's own choosing and you knew about it? To all other citizens of foreign countries voicing your support of Poland. THANK YOU!!! Take note how news is manipulated. Your country could be next someday.

Always far right? Presumably those who do not march are far left. Silly way to describe this event as though expression of national pride is wrong. Rightness door in Ukraine is extreme nationalism from the far right.

Try finding a far left march with 1/10th of the people..

This is getting sooo boring every year the same headline, I guess global news doesn’t love its country since they don’t seem to understand what this is

And, yet again it is called a far-right independence day march. Why? Ignorance? Polish bashing? Poles commemorate their regaining independence in 1918 after decades of being partitioned. This false meme of calling everything in Poland 'far-right' or 'ultra-nationalism' is vomit-inducing. Perhaps one day people will respect the Poles for who they are and even learn a little about their history.

But it seems you forgot to show how families are together and not only Far-Right people

How is the celebration of national independence day a 'far-right' event? The vast majority of people taking a part in the march were normal common people that do not belong to any political orgnaization. As for personal views- celebrating during this day is not reserved for one, state-designated range of political views. Anyone could, can, and will be able to join. Police reported there were no serious incidents, nothing worth mentioning.

Couple of hundred far-right folks among 99900 regular citizens and only they make the news. Congrats of independent non-biased reporting 😂

Why "far-right"? ... or for "far-left", - "center" is "far-right"!:)) Please do not label people just for their opinion and peaceful actions! :)) Respect for polish people!

Global News -Propaganda

Far right? Ridiculous. Is the usa 4th of July also far right?

God bless my brother Poland🇵🇱🇰🇷✝️✝️

🇵🇱❤️💪🏻🥳🎉🥳🎉🇵🇱🎉🇵🇱🥳🇵🇱🥳🇵🇱🥳🇵🇱🇵🇱🥳🇵🇱

Loving your country and people is far right now

far-right? :) seriously?

this is not the extreme right, this is a march of patriots of all Poles

It’s not far right just people who celebrate freedom while they have one

It important in this time to show a manifestation of national independence and sovereignity to the world, especially when your neighbours that have such values taken from them by force.

Beautiful country.

To leftsists all other people are far-right 😅

Today is Remembrance Day, Polish Independence Day, and the day of a great victory in Ukraine. By all rights we should be celebrating a very good day for democracy! But, you have somewhat tarnished this day for me. Look, I'm a Pole, and I lean a bit "left", like many other Poles, but unlike many other Poles. This news report is embarrassing, most especially for it's authors. Do they have any idea what they are talking about. Polish independence was won when WWI ended (aka Remembrance Day). It's Independence Day for *ALL* Poles. When Independence was won the Polish Socialist Party just happened to be the most popular political party and formed the first government, but that doesn't make this a socialist holiday! When it was originally celebrated it was also celebrated by millions of Polish citizens who would be characterized as ethnic Jews, Ukrainians, Belarusians, Germans and others. Poland was not only the most multicultural country in Europe at the time, it was much more so than Canada, and even more so than the US. In fact, that independence was won thanks to volunteers from many countries and with the help of those countries. At Niagara-on-the-Lake there is a cemetery that is officially Polish sovereign land for it is the site where some of those volunteers died of Spanish Flu while training to fight for Polish independence. Canada trained over 21,000 Polish volunteers at that camp. Jews formed the single largest ethnic group that volunteered to fight for Poland's independence (larger than all other ethnic groups combined). Those who fought to win that independence would be horrified by this characterization. Now imagine seeing a report that said the "Far-right Canada Day celebrated on July 1st". Yes, you may see some "Truckers" with confederate flags at your Canada day for the next few years but that doesn't change what the day represents. Similarly in Poland, the far-right does exist, it was largely invisible until just over a decade ago. It then started becoming more and more visible, particularly on such occasions, but they are still a *very* small minority. Ironically, some of these people have connections with North America, Germany and the UK, where they began to make a connection to right-wing politics (hence Confederate flags, etc). The current government in Poland, lead by the PiS party is quite right-wing. It is not fascistic, it is more like the GOP in the US before the Trump take-over. It has fascistic elements within it, but they haven't taken over yet. This party is still a minority, but they are larger than any other single party in Poland. That is the problem we face, just like the one you would face if your Conservative Party was taken over by its populist wing, and the other parties divided up the opposition votes between themselves. It is important to recognize how the far-right and ultra-nationalists became a significant force in Poland. It was the crimes committed together and then separately by the Nazis and the Soviets when they started WWII by invading Poland that resulted in a country that was largely mono-ethnic. This is the result of the Holocaust during the war. After the war this was completed by the movement of borders, and the expulsion of millions of former citizens by the Soviets. The Soviets did this on purpose, to drive a wedge between all these ethnic groups. They feared nothing more than these ethnic groups coming together. This is what most horrifies me. To present Independence Day now as a far-right, ethnic, nationalistic event represents a victory of Hitler and Stalin. Of more immediate concern is that this is precisely what Putin is encouraging. Putin helps fund and support the far-right in Poland, just as it does throughout democracies around the world (including the US and Canada). You may not be aware of this (but you SHOULD be), Putin and his representatives have been loudly claiming that Poland is a fascist country, "just like Ukraine", and SHOULD be invaded, or even bombed off the planet. Remember, not only is this the same excuse they used to invade Ukraine, they were the ones funding and supporting the small fascist groups that exist in Ukraine. It is a cruel crime against history for the Russians, who controlled the Soviet government that planed and started the war as allies of the Nazis to now get to decide that it was the Ukrainians, a subjugated part of the Soviet Union, that were the "real collaborators". Putin's regime calls the West decadent (read as tolerates LGBTQ and human rights in general), fascistic and satanist. Please, don't support that propaganda. Also, please don't let your Canada Day be abused. If the PiS party, which currently has strong control of the media in Poland, is not restrained, and does not keep it's more radical elements under control, you will be faced with millions of Poles watching similar reports of that "Far-right Canada Day celebration".

So people uniting on one day in the year to celebrate Independence Day is far right so therefore let me apply the same logic to Independence Day in the USA,remembrance day in England and the Victory parade in Russia. This kind of behaviour is hypocritical and sometimes we need to be aware of how we brand things as they may not be what they seem to be.

Greetings from Ukraine, Poland brothers 🇵🇱🇺🇦

I see patriots who celebrate their freedom

May the whole of Europe thrive for generations to come! Europe for Europeans! Dont let the US&UK banks bring another war to the continent!

i just love how hard they are trying to show them as far right faschists

It's You who is far left actually. Horrible lefty tittle

🇵🇱

I can't believe that celebrating the independence and the culture of your country is far right, lol.

Supporting your country and traditions is concidered far right? That's wild, not gonna lie.

This is a march of left right central whatever not far right

Lies its not far right lies just Polish ppl with familys A lot tourists etc....

That title is an absolute disgrace. Poland suffered so many wars, 123 years when the country ceased to exist, the worst humanitarian crisis 1939-1945, then 45 long years of Soviet occupation… you are not nationalistic when celebrating Independence Day, you simple show respect to past generations who lost their lives fighting for our freedom! 🇵🇱🇵🇱🇵🇱

God bless them.

What the hell is the title

Nothing Far Right About it. Just a Lovely Community

>far right Damn right and proud of it.

Far right according to who? Our beloved unbiased media?

What kind of impertinent person writes such a title? Right sector? Families, children, is this the right sector? What a false statement.

Why far-right? It is not far, it is NORMALCY.

Is far-right less wrong than right or near-right? On the other hand - is far-wrong less right than wrong or near-wrong?

There was 130 000 people

western media crying about poles celebrating their independence day is getting very boring.
