		</div><p>Members of Poland’s right-wing government have condemned leaders of an annual far-right march in Warsaw for having failed to prevent violence and injuries.</p>
<p>The Independence Day march was planned to be held in cars and on motorbikes, to observe pandemic-era social distancing.</p>
<p>But it was joined by an aggressive crowd on foot that clashed with the police, causing injuries and allegedly setting an apartment on fire with a firecracker.</p>
<p>Thirty-five riot police were wounded, three of who remain in hospital, and 36 people were arrested, Warsaw police spokesman Sylwester Marczak said.</p>
<p>He said people from across Poland took part in the trouble.</p>
<p>Amid general outrage, some government politicians blamed the violence on far-right organisers who allowed people to march on foot and even joined in themselves.</p>

<p>“This is really sad that despite the assurances from the organisers … it turned out in the end that they also walked in the march on foot. … This should not have happened,” said Blazej Spychalski, spokesman for President Andrzej Duda.</p>
<p>Deputy prime minister Jaroslaw Gowin called for the organisers to face criminal charges.</p>
<p>Warsaw authorities had banned the march, which a court also declared illegal, citing the ban on gatherings of over five people intended to stop the accelerating spread of coronavirus.</p>
<p>Organised by far-right groups, the massive Independence Day marches have often led to clashes with left-wing groups and the police in the past.</p>
<p>The November 11 national holiday marks Poland’s regaining of sovereignty after the First World War.</p>
