Poland: Farmers to demonstrate in Poznan June 4
Farmers to protest at Voivodeship office in Poznan, Poland, 10:00-14:00 June 4. Heightened security, transport disruptions likely.
Farmers plan to protest at the Greater Poland Voivodeship Office (Wielkopolski Urzad Wojewodzki) on Aleja Niepodleglosci in Poznan from 10:00 to 14:00 on June 4. The demonstration will demand greater state support for the agricultural sector. It is unclear how many participants may attend.
Heightened security is likely near the protest site. Participants will likely drive tractors into Poznan for the demonstration, prompting transport disruptions on highways into and out of the city through at least the afternoon. Railway disruptions are possible at Poznan Main Station (Poznan Glowny.) Confrontations between demonstrators and law enforcement officers cannot be ruled out.
Avoid the protest area as a standard precaution. Allow additional time if traveling near the Greater Poland Voivodeship Office. Allow additional time for vehicular travel into Poznan in the morning and leaving Poznan in the afternoon. Allow additional time for rail travel via Poznan Main Station throughout the day. Strictly heed all instructions from law enforcement officers. Immediately depart the area at the first sign that any security disturbance may occur.
