Warsaw Marches: Huge Turnout, Conflicting Numbers Fuel Debate

Warsaw Presidential Candidate Marches Draw Thousands: Conflicting Numbers Reported Warsaw, Poland – On Sunday, May 25th, 2025, Warsaw saw large marches in support of various candidates running for President of Poland. The marches were a significant display of public support for the candidates, but the numbers reported by different sources varied wildly. Supporters of Rafal Trzaskowski reported a massive turnout, claiming attendance in the hundreds of thousands. Conversely, figures for the Karol Nawrocki march were significantly lower. This discrepancy immediately raises questions about the reliability of the figures and the methods used to count participants. "The numbers reported are all over the place," said one observer, who preferred to remain anonymous. "It's hard to know what to believe." The author of the video, 'Vesti ne molchat,' points out that the differing numbers may be due to political motivations or simply different counting methods. However, the video suggests a total of around 700,000 people participated in the various marches across Warsaw. This represents a substantial portion of the city's population, highlighting the significance of the event. The event underscores the high level of political engagement in Poland leading up to the presidential elections. The differing reports of attendance highlight the challenges of accurately measuring the scale of such large public gatherings.
