WARSAW (Reuters) - Organisers of a far-right Independence Day march in Warsaw said on Monday it would take place in a motorised form with participants driving around the Polish capital, after the mayor refused to allow the event to go ahead due to the coronavirus. The Nov. 11 march, which often brings tens of thousands of people onto the streets, is seen as a flash point between nationalists and liberals, and has been marred by violence in recent years. “Due to all the circumstances, we thought about the formula for a long time. So that everyone can come and celebrate with us this year, we decided to use the car formula,” Witold Tumanowicz, vice-president of the association that organises the march, told reporters.
