Thousands in Poland Protest Immigration Policy; Protests Due to PM's Decision to Assist Refugees

The political far-right in Poland has organized several anti-immigration protests across the country, the Euro News website reports today (September 29, 2015).

Thousands of people took part in the rallies in several major cities -- including Warsaw, Poland's capital -- during the past few days.

The protests were organized in response to a decision by Prime Minister Ewa Kopacz for Poland to join other EU (European Union) countries in providing financial assistance for refugees.

Poland has agreed to accept 7,000 refugees between 2016 and 2017. In response, Prime Minister Kopacz joined campaigners busy painting over racist graffiti daubed on walls in Warsaw.
