The rally Saturday was organized by Law and Justice, a conservative party led by Jaroslaw Kaczynski. Its members are angry at the decision by the national broadcasting council to withdraw the license for digital broadcasts from the station Trwam.

They argue that it marks a blow to freedom of expression and an attempt to silence their conservative world view. They blame the government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk, which has been trying to reduce the influence of the Catholic church in society.
