The 2017 Independence Day March in Poland featured chants of 'pure Poland' and 'white Poland,' signs reading 'Islam equals terror,' and the presence of figures like Tommy Robinson.

So you may remember the videos that came out in 2017 of the Independence March in Poland, and if you do, you remember seeing a horrifyingly large group of people with some real fucked-up signs chanting horrible things. There were chants of pure Poland, white Poland, and refugees get out that broke out all over the march route. One man interviewed by a news station said that he was marching to, quote, remove Jewry from power. Tommy Robinson made the trip from the UK specifically to be there for that Independence Day march. Andy Edels, a language teacher in Poland, described the march as, quote, 50,000 to 100,000 mostly football hooligans hijacking patriotism. People in black masks marched behind large banners that read, Islam equals terror, and carried signs with slogans like, White Europe of Brotherly Nations.
