Poland: Warsaw Mayor Bans Annual Far-Right March
------------------------------------------------

In Poland, the mayor of Warsaw is banning this year's annual march of
far-right groups. The march, which ostensibly celebrates Poland's
independence, was attended by 60,000 people last year, with participants
chanting slogans including "F*** off with the refugees" and "Pure
Poland, white Poland." The march organizers vowed to go ahead with the
event this Sunday, in defiance of the ban. Democracy Now! will be
broadcasting from Poland next month for the U.N. climate conference.
