Warsaw (Poland), Dec 3 (EFE) .- (Camera: Pablo González) "Satan get out of here!", nationalists shout at the door of the Church of the Holy Cross, in the centre of Warsaw. "Maria would be with us," protesters reply. The situation has been going on for weeks in front of this temple: far-right groups, praying and shouting, separated by a police cordon from a crowd that demonstrates with pro-abortion banners and rainbow flags.FOOTAGE OF PROTESTS.SOUNDBITES OF:WOJCIECH PRZYBYLSKI, JOURNALIST AND POLYTHOLOGIST (IN ENGLISH).HUBERT SOBIECKI, LEADER OF THE LGBTI ASSOCIATION MILOSC NIE WYKLUCZA - LOVE DOES NOT DISCRIMINATE (IN POLISH)."It's not that these protests are just protests lead by women at the moment. It doesn't mean it's just about abortion. It's clear that that was the trigger, but this has changed into something bigger. And it has caught the energy of the people who had already had enough for many different reasons. That also applies to LGBT + people in Poland."MAGDALENA ZAGALKOWICZ, SOCIAL WORKER (IN POLISH)."There is a big difference in these protests because there are many young people. Four years ago, when we had the first protests, those who were born in the seventies came out. Young people were not interested in what was happening and that Poland was shifting towards the right. Now, this youth has grown up and has stopped accepting that. In these protests, you don't have people who are 40 or 50 years old, but you have people who are between 16 and 24 years old. They are young people who do not accept what is happening in Poland. That is the big difference compared to previous protests and that is why now they are so big. The youth have awakened as citizens."
