Polish right-wing opposition MPs call for Independence Day march in Ukrainian city of Lviv
Lviv was historically part of Poland and still has an ethnic Polish minority population.
A coalition of right-wing and far-right opposition politicians in Poland has proposed an Independence Day march in the Ukrainian city of Lviv. The idea, which has been rejected by the ruling coalition, calls for the government to organize an official Polish Independence March through the city's streets on November 11. The suggestion stems from concerns over the preservation and celebration of Polish identity among ethnic Poles living in Lviv, a city that was once part of Poland but is now in Ukraine.
The 21 signatories of the proposal include members from the Law and Justice party (PiS), the far-right Confederation, Development Plus, and the Radical Right party, Confederation of the Polish Crown.
