Anti-Govt Protests in Poland Saturday June 04,2016

Thousands of people have marched in Warsaw, protesting against Poland's conservative government, 27 years since the fall of communism.

Opposition leaders, including two former presidents, led the rally against what they describe as the government's anti-democratic policies.

The ruling Law and Justice party has been criticised by the European Union over its reforms of the judiciary, surveillance, and media laws.

The party rejects the accusations.

Saturday's demonstration in the Polish capital was organised by Committee for the Defence of Democracy (KOD).

People blew horns and waved both Polish and EU flags as they walked through central Warsaw.

The opposition said about 50,000 people took part in the protest.

Police estimated about 10,000 people were on the streets.

Former Presidents Aleksander Kwasniewski and Bronislaw Komorowski were among the protesters.
