A recent poll indicates that a vast majority of Poles are in favor of the ongoing farmer protests across the country, despite the disruptions and controversies they have caused.
More than 72 percent of Polish citizens have thrown their support behind the farmer protests that have swept the nation, according to the latest survey results.
The poll, conducted by IBRiS pollster for the paper Rzeczpospolita, found that 51.6 percent of respondents strongly support the demonstrations, with an additional 21.2 percent somewhat in favor. Only about 10 percent of those surveyed express strong opposition to the protests.
This widespread support comes even as farmers have caused significant disruptions, including blocking major roads and, in some instances, clashing with police. The protests have been contentious, with actions such as throwing paving stones at police officers and obstructing ambulance routes drawing criticism.
