FAR-RIGHT GATHERING GOES GLOBAL, DRAWS THOUSANDS

Fascists and other far-right extremists are set to assemble Saturday in Warsaw for a march that has become one of the largest gatherings in Europe for increasingly emboldened white supremacists. The march held on Poland’s Nov. 11 Independence Day holiday has drawn tens of thousands of participants in recent years. Extremists from Sweden, Hungary, Slovakia and elsewhere now join Polish nationalists in a display of xenophobic and white supremacist views since the event began on a much smaller scale in 2009. The slogan for this year’s event is “We Want God,” words from an old religious Polish song that President Donald Trump quoted while visiting Warsaw. Far-right “neo-pagans” plan to take part along with Roman Catholic groups.
