Farmers are to receive summonses from the police after Thursday’s strike in Wrocław. What is the cause?
- The echoes of Thursday’s farmers’ strike in Wrocław remain. The police send notices to the strikers
- A local website calls agricultural activities a series of “misdemeanors and crimes”
The police will call farmers out of the Wrocław strike
Information about the calls that farmers are to receive includes, among others: local website tuwroclaw.com. In the article from February 16, there are quite tendentious statements in which we read that “we are dealing with a series of crimes and offenses.” The police spokesman in Wrocław – Commissioner Wojciech Jabłoński – announces in a message transmitted by the portal that consequences will be drawn against farmers. They are to be summoned for interrogation, and some of them will be charged. What are these allegations? We will ask the Wrocław police spokesman about this and we will return to the topic with an official position. However, it can be assumed that this includes, among others: about burning tires in front of the Provincial Office. The information published by the website tuwroclaw.com also states that the police could have used water cannons. “We could have used water cannons to stop the protest, but the idea was not to escalate the conflict,” we read. We will certainly come back to this topic. We will ask the Wrocław Police spokesman about the details of the calls and what specific laws were violated.
Calling Thursday’s strike a series of offenses and crimes is an abuse
It is certain that the police will use city monitoring to verify events and possible calls. The question is, what should the protest look like? Of course, if hooligan events occur in any place, such behavior should be condemned – there is no discussion here. However, it is not professional to judge that a series of “crimes and misdemeanors” occurred. Because the court decides about the crime, and the police will probably decide whether the offense occurred during the proceedings. Meanwhile, the tendentious phrases used in this situation go out into the world and show farmers in a very bad light. Meanwhile, there were no clashes, and the blockade itself in Wrocław was kept as peaceful as possible – which was emphasized by both the Police and the farmers themselves, who thanked on Facebook for the policemen’s professional approach to the topic during the blockade of Wrocław.
