Protests in the Polish capital Warsaw against government plans to restrict journalists’ access to parliament have continued for a third day.
Protesters gathered outside parliament, where opposition MPs have been holding a sit-in since Friday.
Government supporters also held a demonstration in Warsaw.
Polish President, Andrzej Duda, who is aligned with the governing party but has offered to mediate, held meetings with opposition party leaders.
A spokesman for Mr Duda said the president began talks on Sunday in the hope of easing the escalating tensions.
On Saturday, journalists met the speaker of the upper house of parliament to discuss the new rules.
Although no breakthrough was made at the talks, there were signs that a compromise deal may be reached after another meeting was scheduled for Monday.
