According to Zwarych, the restriction of freight traffic by Polish protesters poses a threat to human life and health, causes a significant threat to safety and traffic on public roads, and therefore, in accordance with the provisions of the Law of the Republic of Poland "On Assemblies," gives direct grounds for the dissolution of the strike by a representative of the local government body that issued the permit for its holding.
%%QUOTE_TITLE%%We call on the Polish authorities to take decisive action to unblock traffic and prevent Ukrainian, Polish and foreign truck drivers from standing in queues for kilometers without proper conditions - becoming hostages to the actions of the protest organizers. Everyone has the right to protest and defend their position. However, the form, time and duration of the assembly chosen this time, in difficult weather conditions, poses a real threat to life and health, as well as to the safety of people. That is why it is extremely important to save human lives, stop blocking the movement of vehicles and allow drivers to return home unhindered
