An unidentified liquid was spilled in front of the Chancellery of the Prime Minister in Warsaw this Saturday, causing a rapid response from emergency services. According to Sergeant Jakub Pacyniak, a spokesman for the central district police, the incident occurred around 1:05 PM. However, he refrained from detailing the substance involved.
Social media reports, however, suggest that the substance was manure slurry, allegedly spilled by a man supporting farmers’ protests. According to the “Urban Reporter” fanpage, the driver of a Mitsubishi towing a trailer, which carried a tank of the unknown liquid (presumed to be manure slurry), spilled part of its contents in front of the government building.
The police and the Government Protection Bureau (SOP) promptly detained the driver. “Investigations with the man are ongoing,” said Sgt. Pacyniak. “More details about the incident will be released as we progress.”
This incident comes at a tense time for agricultural politics in Poland, with farmers expressing increasing frustration over government policies affecting the agricultural sector. The act of spilling manure slurry, a potent symbol in farming protests, underscores the escalating discontent among some segments of the rural community.
Authorities are continuing their investigation to determine more about the circumstances of the spill, including the full intentions and affiliations of the individual involved. Further updates are expected as the situation unfolds.
