WARSAW: Poland's far right attracted tens of thousands to a march in Warsaw on Monday to mark the country's Independence Day just weeks after making significant gains in national elections.

The march, which was closely monitored by the police, brought together the leaders and supporters of Poland's far right, although many participants said they simply wanted to express their patriotism, waving Polish flags and shouting"God, Honour and the Motherland"."I'm proud to be Polish and being here gives me the feeling of community with our nation," Zbyszek, a technician in his 30s from the Warsaw suburbs, told AFP.

Police dispersed several counter-demonstration set up on the route of the march with a banner reading"Constitution", a reference to their opposition to constitutional reforms being pushed through by the ruling populist Law and Justice party.
