Head of state confirms presence at celebration
Polish President Karol Nawrocki announced that he will take part in the Independence March, which traditionally takes place in Warsaw, on 11 November. He shared this information on X on Friday, 6 November.
«11 листопада, у цей особливий момент для Польщі, я, як і щороку, візьму участь у Марші незалежності у Варшаві» (11 November, on this special occasion for Poland, I will, as every year, take part in the Independence March in Warsaw), Nawrocki stated in his post.
Organisers’ reaction and event slogans
The Confederation Liberty and Independence coalition, whose activists initiated this march and have transformed it over the years into Europe’s largest patriotic action, immediately reacted to the President’s words.
«Інакше й бути не могло! Поляк у Польщі — господар! Усі на Марш незалежності!» (It could not be otherwise! A Pole in Poland is the master! Everyone to the Independence March!) the Confederation commented.
The event organisers, the Independence March association, explain that this slogan refers to state sovereignty, national identity, and the right of Poles to decide the future of their country.
Who will take part in the march
In addition to the President, leaders of the Confederation party, Krzysztof Bosak and Sławomir Mentzen, plan to participate in the Independence March. Opposition leaders will also join the march, including Jarosław Kaczyński, Mateusz Morawiecki and Grzegorz Braun, as well as numerous other MPs. Organisers predict record turnout.
Route details and accompanying events
The march will take place on 11 November, Polish Independence Day. At 14:30, participants will begin moving along the traditional route: from Ronda Dmowskiego through Al. Jerozolimskie and Poniatowski Bridge to the National Stadium.
Warsaw Mayor Rafal Trzaskowski emphasised that this holiday should unite all citizens, regardless of their political beliefs. He reminded that at 17:15, in front of the Museum of the History of Poland building, the “Shared Independence” festival will start, becoming part of the festive programme.
In addition to the pedestrian march, the traditional Independence Run will take place in the capital. The running route passes through al. Jana Pawła II and Al. Niepodległości streets.
