Polish farmers blocked truck traffic on border with Germany
Protesting Polish farmers do not allow trucks to pass along the key A2 highway on the border with Germany, RIA Novosti reports with reference to the RMF FM radio station
Tractors have been driven to the border, and a narrow corridor has been made so that only passenger cars could pass. Heavy trucks are forced to look for detours. Polish farmers plan to continue the protest action until lunch time, but demonstrations may last a month if the authorities fail to react.
Farmers' banners read: ‘We are waiting for PM’, ‘Farmers being killed by European politics’.
Recently, protests among agrarians have been growing in Poland and some other European countries. Among other demands, they ask to change the pan-European agricultural policy and remove numerous restrictions from agricultural producers.
