Yesterday evening.
Outside the Polish consulate on Eden Quay, Dublin.
People gathered to support the tens of thousands of protesters who yesterday demonstrated across Poland against proposals for a total ban on abortion.

Looks like the gal with the black tape over her lips was at the wrong protest, as this has nothing to do with free speech.
Actually it is,partly. Women in Poland are not being listened to.
power to our Polish sisters!
Passed them on the bus yesterday, well organised. Respect!
90s promised Polish folks liberation, but new governors surpassed soviets in oppression, subjugation and corruption. Bit like us and brits.
“…in the late 1950s … in the 1960s and 1970s. It was not uncommon that women from countries where abortions were restricted, such as Sweden, travelled to Poland to carry out abortions which were accessible and affordable there…” (wikip)
“…but new governors surpassed soviets in oppression, subjugation and corruption.”
Well that’s clearly not true.
It is if you’re a woman facing the prospect of imprisonment for a miscarriage.
Which, of course, is not proposed.
Accepting that it’s an issue that you’re understandably concerned about, it doesn’t mean that Polish society is more oppressive, more corrupt, and it’s people more prone to subjugation than when it was under totalitarian control, as nellyb claimed.
Just because it happens in the US, El Salvador, Argentina, India, there’s no reason to believe it won’t happen in Poland.
No reason at all!!
So are we agreed that nellyb is wrong. But that you have certain other fears about Poland?
That’s Nelly’s personal perspective just like your personal perspective on a woman flushing a literally microscopic cluster of cells from her body is the destruction of a human being. You can’t really complain about emotive hyperbole when you’re so fond of it yourself.
No “we’re” not agreed. I don’t believe NellyB is wrong.
This proposed law is a ridiculous and retrograde step & it is of a piece with a trend in Polish politics for a while in becoming more right wing & authoritarian.
But no, it clearly is not trues that ‘new governors surpassed soviets in oppression, subjugation and corruption’. It demonstrates a confident ignorance & shallow disregard for the facts.
I was there..most of them were irish lefties – usual rent a protesters…
given the large amount of polish in ireland you’d have thought there would be more..if they were so much against it.
Usual lefty “rent a protesters” like yourself, eh? Not everyone lives in or near Dublin to attend an early evening protest. Anyway, the Polish in Poland turned out in huge numbers.
A week after our own one? Unrealistic. This is just wishful thinking on your part.
You weren’t there.
moi Bob? I was ….I get a lift outside jimmy chungs after work most days.
I was there for quite some time yest as my lift was late.
but thanks nonetheless for your thought provoking put down.
Yeah, I’m still fairly positive you weren’t there and are just trying to dismiss something you don’t agree with.
True. I would have thought the usual rent a protesters would be much more in favour of shoe cream
We’re they different Soviets to the Russians that murdered the whole polish govt in 2010?

Fake tears like your fake outrage, typical

Well someone found google translate!
