I happened to be in Warsaw this passed weekend and witnessed the independence parade. A few colleagues and I were off to find food when our taxis halted and asked we make the rest of the trip by foot due to the cordened off areas which is when we witnessed the military parade
I was totally unaware of this protest and fortunately for us, we left the city early Saturday morning
