Poland’s president Hanna Gronkiewicz-Waltz is banning an annual march organised by far-right groups in the country that celebrate the country’s independence.

The Independence March has been held annually since 2010 and last year the event, attended by 60,000 people, sparked international outrage due to the presence of racist, homophobic, and anti-immigrant slogans.

President Gronkiewicz-Waltz said the event would not be allowed to go ahead.
