Protests are taking place across the country following the Constitutional Tribunal’s decision on abortion. As a result, Polish women will be sentenced to suffering, as they will have to carry and give birth to fetuses without, for example, a head or spine, or affected by other disabilities.
In our city, the women and men of Bolesławiec have already protested for the ninth time. As Marta Lempart told us in an interview today, attendance is not important; the protest itself is important. – What paralyzed PiS, what filled them with fear, what took away their absolute power, at least for a moment, was that people took to the streets. First, in small towns, and second, in places where they did not expect anyone to come out at all – Marta Lempart said.
See our report from Friday’s protest, which „is supposed to be unlucky for Jarosław”.
In 2018, Gabriela Lazarek was the recipient of the 30th-anniversary award of „Gazeta Wyborcza” for her fight for freedom and human rights. She received this special distinction during the Superbohaterki gala of „Wysokie Obcasy”.
Gabriela knows everything about protests. Today, she will be a guest during the live coverage of the march in Bolesławiec. As she says about her own protests: „[…] why rally people, arrange things for hours on Facebook, set the time, course of the demonstration and wording of the slogan, when anyone can protest. Alone or with a friend.
