    Police Strike Looms: “Bird Flu” Protest Threatens Key November Events

    Polish police officers are signaling a new form of protest, reportedly planning to take sick leave en masse during crucial national events this November. Officers aim to highlight dissatisfaction with financial policies affecting their department, making their voices heard through what’s now being termed the “bird flu” protest.

    Planned Sick Leaves Over Key November Holidays

    According to reports from RMF FM, the protest is expected to coincide with the All Saints’ Day weekend and Poland’s Independence Day celebrations. These times typically require heightened police presence due to large gatherings and public events, which makes the timing of the planned sick leaves significant.

    The Metropolitan Police Commander has directed unit leaders to closely monitor and report any unusual increases in sick leave requests among officers. The question now is whether a potential shortage of police personnel could disrupt security efforts, raising concerns about public safety during large gatherings across the country.

    Whether this protest materializes could shape how public safety is managed during some of Poland’s most significant events in November.
