Polish opposition leader Donald Tusk said "hundreds of thousands" of protesters had gathered in central Warsaw on October 1 to oppose the conservative government ahead of general elections on October 15. Called by Tusk, the former premier and head of the centrist Civic Coalition bloc, the rally sought to mobilise the electorate for the crunch vote. (Photo by Wojtek Radwanski / AFP)
