Half a million people participated in the march, making it one of the largest anti-government demonstrations in Poland in the 30 years since the fall of communism. Demonstrators were covered in red and white — the colors of the Polish flag — and carried signs reading "Enough is enough" and "No to an authoritarian Poland" The protest drew demonstrators from all over Poland, responding to calls from former Prime Minister Donald Tusk to demonstrate against "the cost of living, fraud and lies" Former Polish President and Peace Nobel Prize laureate Lech Walesa joined opposition leaders at the head of the march.
