Protesters taking part in a march against the ruling party’s plans to expand Poland’s capital Warsaw by incorporating 32 neighboring municipalities into its administrative boundaries, in Warsaw, Poland, Saturday, Feb. 11, 2017. Opposition says the plan is designed to help the ruling Law and Justice party win control of Warsaw in 2018 local elections, something it could not achieve otherwise. Warsaw voters largely support the opposition pro-business Civic Platform party, while Law and Justice has more backing in the suburbs. Under the plan, Warsaw, a city of 1.7 million, would have more territory than New York City or London. Following protests, the ruling party said the plan will be open for public consultations before it is debated by lawmakers.
