On the afternoon of Saturday, the 19th of July, groups from around the country associated with the far-right Polish political party, Konfederacja gather to protest immigration to Poland. In Warsaw, a gathering of several thousand, many wearing clothing associated with football hooliganism, meet at the Szymborska Passage in the centre of the city. Antifascist protesters unfurl a banner amid the far-right demonstration, causing temperatures to run high. Less than a kilometre away, an antifascist counterprotest comprising several left-wing groups takes place at the Dmowski roundabout. Later in the afternoon, the atmosphere turns febrile as the far-right groups approach the antifascist demonstration and bottles are thrown. The Stop Immigration protest takes place at a time when far-right political parties have been stoking fear of illegal immigration as a weapon of war from both the Belarusian and German borders. Human rights groups within Poland have called this unfounded and the playing of worrying political games.
