Centrolew rally in Warsaw, 15 September 1930

To counter the Centrolew, prior to the 1930 elections, Centrolew politicians were subjected to repressions (most famously, imprisonment in the Brest Fortress, and the subsequent Brest trials). The Centrolew was defeated in the elections and broke up as a coalition.^[1]
