Opposition leader Donald Tusk told supporters that political “change for the better is inevitable” in Poland as he opened a massive march Sunday to try to boost his political coalition’s chances of unseating the country’s conservative government in an upcoming parliamentary election.

“No one can stop this force; this giant has awoken,” Tusk told huge crowds gathered in the center of Warsaw two weeks before the Oct. 15 election. “Let no one among the ruling team have any illusions: This change for the better is inevitable.”

His Civic Coalition is vowing to mend ties with the European Union, which has had strained relations with Poland during the eight years the Law and Justice party has governed the country. Tusk spent five years as president of the European Council after serving seven years as Poland’s prime minister.

The four-party coalition also has pledged to pursue more tolerant policies than the nationalist government led by Law and Justice.

    It’s not hard to tell if a company has poor working conditions because they all do in some way or another.

      True, but I’ve meet people who quit their first job out of college because they felt they weren’t being respected, then I found out they never had any job before that. I’m just wondering what sort of privilege they had to manage to never have a job with a boss before graduating college. His life plan was to get a house near a college and rent to students while writing.

        Are you sure you’re not being dishonest?

        I think it was right before he called that rescue worker a pedophile. Before that, there were reports poor working conditions, but it’s hard to tell that early if they were legit or just people who never had a job before.

          I don’t trust singular people complaining on the internet. Have you not seen Yelp reviews?

          It became more believable as more people came forward and Musk dropped his mask.
