The opposition urged a change of government, but the protests in Warsaw have not produced the desired effects. Andrzej Duda, meanwhile, not only wants to clarify the abortion law, but also to support for families with disabled children.
For the great hope pinned on the Warsaw protests, they have culminated in a huge fall, Ludwik Dorn, a former member of Law and Justice party, pointed out on his Facebook page.
Although the anti-abortion protests, backed by the whole opposition, were expected to bring a change of government and revolution, the numbers do not show a breakthrough success, Dorn said. The demonstrations in the capital were attended by roughly 100,000 people, which is a respectable number, but still a “poor performance” if we consider the entire population of Warsaw.
