Incident at the Independence March. The Left's flag was burned

During the Independence March in Warsaw, three participants burned a Left flag using a flare, despite a ban on pyrotechnics. Police negotiator Dariusz Loranty warned that such incidents increase crowd aggression. The event attracted around 250,000 attendees, although organizers claimed numbers could reach 500,000 or even a million. Historically, the march has seen violence, but this year was relatively calm aside from the flag burning. Loranty emphasized the dangers of flag burning in crowds, stating it can lead to panic and increased aggression.
