On November 11, 2024, tens of thousands participated in Warsaw's annual Independence Day march, organized by far-right groups and supported by the nationalist Law and Justice (PiS) party, amidst a backdrop of rising anti-EU and anti-immigration sentiments. The event, attended by PiS leader Jarosław Kaczyński, saw participants carrying nationalist banners and chanting slogans such as 'Stop mass migration'. Despite the increased police presence, which resulted in dozens of detentions for various offenses, the march proceeded without significant disorder. The new liberal government, in power since December, faces challenges, with the opposition gaining traction in polls. Historically, the march has been marred by violence and clashes in previous years, raising concerns about safety. Organizers claimed attendance reached 250,000, while city officials estimated around 90,000 participants.
