Protests Against Gentrification In Krakow's Kazimierz District

KRAKOW, POLAND - MARCH 1: Activists hold cardboard signs reading 'CLERGY TO WORK, CHURCHES TO SQUATS' and 'THE CHURCH EVICTS TENANTS' during a 'protest festival' in Krakow, Poland, on March 1, 2026. The all-day demonstration was organized by local residents and groups such as the Anarchist Federation of Krakow to oppose the planned transformation of historic, church-owned tenement houses on Jozef Street into a luxury five-star hotel by developer De Silva Haus S.A. and the Order of Canons Regular of the Lateran.
