Both the ruling party and main opposition think they could benefit.
“We are here today so that the whole world can see how strong we are and how many of us are ready to fight for democracy,” said Donald Tusk.
PiS party featured the former German Nazi death camp in a video criticising an upcoming anti-government march by the opposition.
The opposition argue that its real purpose is to help the ruling party win this year’s elections.
PO has also responded to the government’s plans to increase child benefits next year by proposing that the hike happen immediately.
“Today, the kings of life are those who drink, beat their children, beat women, and have not disgraced themselves with work for many, many years.”
“PO has already turned so far to the left, gradually, that our paths have finally diverged,” said Bogusław Sonik today.
Donald Tusk is accused of abusing his powers as prime minister, a crime that carries a prison sentence of up to ten years.
Abortion up to 12 weeks, access to IVF, contraception and sex education in schools are “fundamental rights”, says Tusk.
PiS is the last of Poland’s main political parties to join the social media platform.
His comments come after a former advisor called for the retirement age to be raised, as it was when Tusk was previously prime minister.
The opposition party leader is also suing TVP for “manipulation” in a programme linking him to Russia.
