(ANSA) - WARSAW, OCTOBER 28 - The tension continues in Poland where this afternoon Marta Lempart, leader of the 'Losciopero delle donne' movement, invited the crowd present under the seat of parliament to "lock down the Sejm".

The action is intended to be the response to today's statement by Vice Prime Minister Jaroslaw Kaczynski who in a speech in the lower chamber of the parliament explicitly accused the opposition of responsibility for the demonstrations underway after the decision of the Constitutional Court last Thursday against the right to abortion.


    "You are criminals because because of your dirty interests you expose one agent to the risk of pandemic and death, you destroy Poland," Kaczynski told deputies.


   The crowd blocked the various exits from the parliament, in the area there were some moments of tension between the demonstrators and the police.

Senate President TomaszGrodzki has called on the government to dialogue with the nation, which has yet to be answered.

The Polish bishops also called on the population to refrain from violence.

Today began with the strike of women who did not go to work across the country at the invitation of the Lempart movement.

In several Polish cities there were protests for the seventh consecutive day;

in Lodz in the center of the city, 20,000 people took to the streets.

In Warsaw, before reaching the parliament, the people demonstrated under the headquarters of the Ordo iuris, the foundation of the Catholic fundamentalists which for some years has also been operating in Poland and is behind the initiatives against the right to abortion.
