A Protest Against SAFE

People wave Poland national flags and shout slogans during the rally. Polish opposition groups protest outside the Presidential Palace in Warsaw, Poland, on February 21, 2026, urging President Karol Nawrocki to veto the SAFE Bill, which enables Poland to access EUR 43.7 billion in EU loans for defense projects. The bill, approved by the Senate but opposed by Law and Justice and Confederation lawmakers, sparks debates over its political implications and potential misuse, with Prime Minister Donald Tusk advocating for its swift enactment.
