Poles in scores of cities across the country took to the streets to demand that the flow of illegal migrants be stemmed

Anti-immigration protests were held in around 80 Polish cities on Saturday, according to local media. The largest demonstration reportedly attracted around 3,000 people.

The rallies were organized by a political alliance called the Confederation Liberty and Independence. The coalition of right-wing groups has taken a hardline stance against the EU and its immigration policy.

Around 3,000 people took part in a protest in the southern Polish city of Katowice, public broadcaster TVP reported on Saturday, citing police sources. According to the outlet, most of the protesters were men and many were from football fan clubs.

Videos from the scene show protesters waving Polish flags and chanting anti-immigration slogans.
