Duda was meeting separately with opposition leaders on Sunday in an effort to mediate the crisis, which has seen protests on the street as well as in the country’s parliament over the weekend.

A number of meetings were being held throughout the day, according to the president’s spokesman. The first was held with Ryszard Petru, head of the Modern party. Polish People’s Party (PSL) leader Wladyslaw Kosiniak-Kamysz (seen above) also said he had met with Duda.

Thousands of protestors across the country are challenging a new plan by the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party to restrict journalists’ access to lawmakers in Parliament. The party has come under fire in the past for its perceived efforts to clamp down on state media as well as its plans to reform the country’s highest court.
