Truckers blockades over high fuel prices spills over from western Europe

Following examples of their counterparts in European countries, Polish truckers are to stage a four hour slow down to try to force the government to reduce the price of gasoline and diesel. The Polish branches of the International Road Haulage Association organized the demonstrations. The towns to be blockaded include Czestochowa, Katowice and Kielce, though the organizers have assured they will try to make sure that the whole nation is in one way or another inconvenienced (Gazeta Wyborcza, page 3)
