Protesters return to Poland’s streets demanding liberalisation of abortion law

Protests across Poland demanded the government fulfill its promise to liberalize abortion laws, marking the sixth anniversary of a near-total ban. Demonstrations were smaller than those in 2020, with hundreds gathering in cities like Warsaw and Wrocław. Prime Minister Donald Tusk's coalition, which pledged to reverse the 2020 ruling, has yet to enact significant changes. Recently, the Sejm approved two bills aimed at liberalizing abortion, but they may face a veto from President Karol Nawrocki. Public opinion favors liberalization, with upcoming elections in 2027 likely influencing future policies.
