Hundreds of protestors gathered in Warsaw's Old Town in the early afternoon on Sunday, carrying signs saying 'Work and bread' and 'It will be normal again.'

WARSAW - Police in Warsaw used tear gas on Saturday against protestors demanding the government act faster to allow businesses to reopen following a coronavirus shutdown.

Poland has been steadily loosening coronavirus restrictions in recent weeks in an effort to cushion the economy. Hair salons and restaurants are expected to reopen with new safety measures in place on Monday. Police blocked the planned march, saying in a statement published on Twitter that public gatherings are still banned under the government restrictions.

Jacek Bury, a senator and member of Poland's main opposition grouping, the Civic Coalition, said he was detained by police during the protest and that they used force against him.
