An anti-government rally in Warsaw has gathered “hundreds of thousands” people, Polish opposition leader Donald Tusk says, as he addresses the crowds in the capital’s center.

“When I see these hundreds of thousands of smiling faces, I have a good feeling that the breakthrough moment in the history of our homeland is coming,” Tusk tells supporters, ahead of general elections on October 15.
