11th November Independence Day in Poland

I am more of a Piłsudski guy but I think 15th August would be a better date for Independence Day (much warmer). :)

But it is already taken by two holidays on the same day. :):)

Accidentally. in Poznan city, people consume tons of St Martin`s croissants on 11 Nov - the custom originated in 19th century, long before the independence that Poland regained in 1918.

According to an article in ethnology that I read years ago, making the rogal a symbol of Independence Day was a conscious strategy to de-emphasize Piłdudski*, who was not popular in the region due to his lukewarm attitude toward the Wielkopolska Uprising without which Poznań would have remained Posen.

*nov 11 is the day he formed a government for the newly independent country

Coming from East
Coming from West
There was Poland on the first.

said Marshall Piłusdski about the unexpected, though long craved, resurrection of Poland.


I suppose a better sounding translation would be

Coming from East
Coming from West
There came Poland on the first.

said by Piłsudski, of course. By the first he meant the beginning of the month which could be 1st December 1918 when the newly reborn Poland started putting on real flesh. By East or West he meant all Polish lands which once were settled by Poles/Polesses.

You know best media to follow or Watch today the march? I tried TV Republika, but seems they only show short cuts of it and change topics

That`s what all media in Poland do. You would have to find some nationalist streaming site but I haven`t heard of any - they don`t have enough funds to make such real time coverage.

@pawian
Why exactly is the Independence March in Poland organized by nationalists? Why not someone else?

It was them who came up with the idea a dozen or so years ago. And they have stuck to it till now. Nobody else wants to do it with them which shows how isolated they are.
Comically, PiS politicians joined it today although they had ignored it when in power. Catching at a razor they are.

Polish victory parade through the recently annexed Netherlands. After decades of enslavement by globohomo, the grateful local populace cheer their liberators in the streets.

What's that bit of nonsense supposed to mean?

And they're just watching a band parade.

While around the holiday I consume my fave dishes.

One day before - Polish sausage. Fried, of course. Plus raw steak.
On the day - fried potatoes with egg, sausage, onion, chives.
One day after - Polish sauerkraut bigos stew.
