World News: Poles demonstrate to show support for EU membership – Gulf Digital News

WARSAW - Tens of thousands of Poles demonstrated on Sunday in support of European Union membership after a court ruling that parts of EU law are incompatible with the constitution raised concerns the country could eventually leave the bloc.

Politicians across Europe voiced dismay at the ruling by Poland's Constitutional Tribunal on Thursday, which they saw as undercutting the legal pillar on which the 27-nation EU stands.   

According to organisers, protests took place in over 100 towns and cities across Poland and several cities abroad. In Warsaw, protesters waved Polish and EU flags and shouted "We are staying".
