It is noted that demonstrations with agricultural machinery and blockades are planned in about 400 places, including important roads on the way to Warsaw.

In total, nearly 70,000 farmers are expected to join the protests in Poland.

Polish law enforcement officials have already warned of difficulties on the streets of Krakow, where protesters plan to drive directly into the city. Citizens are urged to switch from private cars to public transportation on this day to avoid traffic jams.

In addition, problems are also expected in Gdansk, where the action on the streets will last from 10 to 16 hours. 

At the same time, the publication says that Wroclaw City Hall refused to allow farmers who requested permission to protest in the city. However, the local authorities said that this would create problems for traffic and the safety of citizens. The organizers want to appeal the decision in court. 

Addendum

Farmers are planning to protest on highways, expressways, national roads, and in city centers. 

In addition to blocking collection points in the country's largest cities, farmers also intend to park their agricultural tractors in front of provincial institutions.

It is noted that in Lublin Voivodeship, according to police, farmers are protesting on the roads to the border crossings with Ukraine in Dorohusk, Zosin, Dolhobyczów and Hrebenne, temporarily blocking truck traffic
