Polish farmers during protests began throwing paving stones and lit flares at police, according to RMF24.
According to law enforcement officials, flares and firecrackers were ignited by farmers outside the office of Prime Minister Donald Tusk during a large-scale protest that has been ongoing in the capital of Poland since early morning.
Some flares, according to law enforcement, were thrown towards the police and the prime minister's office. The crowd was chanting for Prime Minister Donald Tusk to come out to them.
Warsaw police report that protesting farmers pelted law enforcement with paving stones.
"Due to the physical aggression of some of the people protesting at Wiejska Street - towards police officers - it was necessary to use direct coercive measures, " says the capital police on the X.
Currently, it is known that strikes are taking place not only in Warsaw but also in other parts of Poland.
