On Sunday, March 17, Polish farmers will begin blocking the country’s border with Germany. The protest will last four days.
Protests of Polish farmers on the border with Germany
We are talking about blocking the border crossing at Šwiecko near Frankfurt an der Oder, which is located on the autobahn connecting Berlin and Warsaw.
Every day about 17 thousand trucks move along this route between Germany and Poland.

Border traffic will not be possible at this location as all lanes will be blocked.
Accordingly, significant traffic jams are expected on both sides.
At the end of February, Polish farmers already blocked traffic on this highway, but only for 24 hours. Then about a thousand farmers took part in the protest with 500 tractors and 300 trucks.
