"No promise has been kept." Protests over abortion across the country

Demonstrators demand the fulfillment of election promises regarding abortion rights, with protests occurring in 27 locations. In Warsaw, hundreds gathered despite rain, highlighting ongoing frustrations over unchanged abortion laws since the government shift three years ago. Participants criticized the government's reliance on outdated legislation from 1993 and expressed skepticism about future changes. Recently, the Sejm passed a partial decriminalization of abortion, allowing for certain medical circumstances. Current laws, stemming from a 2020 Constitutional Tribunal ruling, severely restrict abortion access, leading to widespread protests and influencing the recent electoral success of the ruling coalition, which promised reform.
