On the afternoon of the 14th of June, pro-Palestine anti-genocide protesters block the annual Pride celebration parade through Warsaw, Poland. The protesters believe the parade has become increasingly commercialised in recent years, a trend that reached its zenith in 2025 with the inclusion of shipping company Maersk. The Danish logistics firm is known to ship weapons to Israel, weapons that are used in the genocide in Gaza. The protesters believe that Maersk is using the annual Pride parade to "pinkwash" their reputation and distract from their involvement with Israel. Demonstrators blocked the progress of the Maersk group, threw blood-red paint at the truck, and some climbed atop the vehicle with a loudhailer and a Palestine flag. Protesters chanted the slogan "Maersk, Maersk, you can't hide; you can't pinkwash genocide".
