They have a long list of accusations against the authorities, which is why they went to the Million Heart March

Teachers, entrepreneurs, doctors and representatives of many other professions from all over Poland say exactly the same thing: that they are afraid of losing their freedom. – They tell us how to live, and we want to live our own way – says Mr. Marek, a participant of the Million Hearts March from Przemyśl. Mrs. Beata, who came to Warsaw from Świnoujście for the march, has a similar opinion. – So that you can say whatever you want in this country – says the woman.

Mr. Waldek from Działoszyn, in turn, is hurt that the politicians in power are stealing Poland. Mr. Zbyszek and Darek say that they feel that they are surrounded by omnipresent lies – for example about blocked European funds. However, Mr. Jacek does not like the fact that those in power do not respect people who work hard. A march participant points out that what PiS says is an illusion. – Just do the math, taxes are not lower – says the man.

Mrs. Marta, who came to Warsaw from Michałowice for the march, has an appeal to people voting for PiS: we are different, but let’s all give ourselves the opportunity to live the way we want. Mr. Robert from Reszel also has a message for the voters of Jarosław Kaczyński’s party. – More logical thinking, not just that if they give it to us, it’s good. But what will happen in five or ten years? Who will work for all this in ten years? – says the man.

However, each participant of the march spoke primarily about the need to vote. – My slogan, although I don’t go, I always vote – emphasizes Mr. Sebastian, who uses a wheelchair.
