'People Instead Of Profit' Protest In Krakow
Participants in the 'People Instead of Profit' protest against the gentrification of Kazimierz walk through the streets of Kazimierz on February 22, 2026, in Krakow, Poland. People gather to protest against the demolition of iconic and artistic tenement houses in Kazimierz and the construction of a luxury hotel in their place. The owner, the Order of Canons Regular of the Lateran, grants the manager's consent to De Silva Haus S.A. Demolishing the tenement house involves the eviction of residents and the closure of iconic landmarks like the Eszeweria bar. City authorities already announce changes to the development plan and assistance for residents. (Photo by Klaudia Radecka/NurPhoto)
