Yesterday, Rafał Trzaskowski informed via a video that appeared on his Facebook that at the city's request, rescuers and city observers take part in protests in the capital, who record the protests on video. Police cannot violate citizens' rights.

That is why I ordered observers of the Capital City of Warsaw to be present at today's public assembly and to record its course on video. I will not allow civil rights violations in the capital.

chud Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 and it's maybe why foreign police forces or 'extras' get hired to handle such 'protesters', because cops are no actors but sworn workers and these protests I bet weren't officially recognized or allowed...

The Media and the BBC are not known to be Pro-Life, they are more likely to be Pro-Choice so that's not the reason if it's suppressed Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm not in the UK and I don't watch the BBC regularly (or any TV). But I know western media pushed the Femen protests awhile ago. So if they're not pushing this story I don't think the pro-abortion theme is the reason. Just common sense. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chud Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 it's diversion from real protests over COVID restrictions... I recall protesters in Poland claimed we are afraid of COVID... it's coined propaganda... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The Polish State is claiming power over Polish women's bodies, so they protest, right across Poland. Poland is a predominately Catholic country. Women fought for years for the right to chose. Now that's been taken away again. This affects all women, not 'just' feminists...that's why there's a big reaction / protest. The present Polish government is not popular.. These protests are not being shown in ANY country....especially Poland, just like the Yellow Vest movement was suppressed and covered up / ignored. That these events are not in any MM shows it is not a bought and paid for protest. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yes, some are afraid because they are bombarded 24/7 with MM lies... lf this was a diversion why isn't this being promoted and shown on MAINSTREAM MEDIA......anywhere ?

But its obvious you have a dog in this fight and you're pushing a narrative. I have many Polish friends and coworkers. They're Catholics and they're Pro-Life. We will see how this evolves in the next few days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Michi713 Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 Agreed they’re giving the protest class a nice distraction from the new lockdown rules. Keep them busy. https://www.thefirstnews.com/article/poland-imposes-tighter-restrictions-does-not-rule-out-full-lockdown-17001 There will be options for women who still want to kill their unborn children: traveling across borders and there’s the famous abortion ship that takes advantage of maritime laws. They often anchor off the coast of Ireland. https://www.womenonwaves.org/en/page/493/abortion-on-our-ship Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chud Posted October 27, 2020 Share Posted October 27, 2020 because it's more intended locally to the Polish of whom country has deepened its allegiance and strengthened its ties to the USA... to the rest of Europe these protests are a mere 'anecdote'...
