Fruit-growers demonstrate in Warsaw

Several hundred fruit-growers came to Warsaw on Tuesday to protest against insufficient support in view of the Russian embargo. They claim that some 1.5 million metric tons of apples remain unsold due to the situation. The demonstration started at around 10 a.m. The fruit-growers headed for the Prime Minister’s Chancellery and for the Ministry of Finance. The PM did not answer their call to come out and talk so they scattered apples in front of the chancellery. The fruit-growers also threatened to continue protests in the future and block major roads.
