Politicians including main opposition leader Donald Tusk led crowds calling for a change of direction.
Hundreds of thousands of protesters have gathered in Warsaw for one of Poland's largest demonstrators since the fall of communism in 1989.
Many travelled from across the country to take part, and simultaneous demonstrations have been held in other Polish cities like Krakow. Crowds of people have been pictured waving Polish and EU flags and holding placards, and participants told the BBC that protesters were chanting "democracy" and "we will win".
