Tusk tells election rally in Warsaw: ‘change for the better is inevitable’

Leader of Polish opposition addresses supporters as large parts of the capital come to a standstill

Huge crowds have gathered in central Warsaw at a rally organised by opposition leader Donald Tusk, two weeks before a crucial election that will have major implications for the future political course of Poland and its role in Europe.

As a closely fought and vicious campaign enters its final straight, Tusk had called on supporters to rally in Warsaw to put on a show of strength and galvanise the opposition. Victory, he claimed, was in sight.
