Today at noon, despite rainy weather, a picket was held at the headquarters of
the Poznań prosecutor's office under the slogan "Let's give the fish a voice".The action organized by the Green Wave and the Poznań section of the AnarchistFederation was a response to the inactivity towards river polluters. ---- Today,when we are dealing with an ecological disaster in the form of poisoning the OdraRiver, the protest was supposed to recall the events of 2015, when the Warta wascontaminated. ---- As in the case of the Odra River today, the authorities andlaw enforcement agencies were very indolent and sluggish in their actions. Whenit was possible to identify the direct perpetrator of the Warta River pollution -the Bros company - not much was done to punish him.The case has been dragging on for 6.5 years, despite overwhelming evidence. Theperpetrator, although known, has not yet been answered for his act. The onlypenalty that met him was a secret fine for illegal waste disposal, which,according to media reports, amounted to a maximum of 600,000. PLN (the foreseenpenalty is PLN 1 million). The actual case of poisoning the river, in which theonly suspect is Bros's boss Piotr M., did not start until February this year.Piotr M. is no longer tried for perpetration by ordering the disposal of thesubstance in the cheapest way, but for neglecting employees.This situation shows that law enforcement authorities clearly do not care aboutgetting a conviction, and in the event of a river poisoning, they should alsofight for a high financial penalty, giving a chance for at least partial repairof the damage or financing of warning systems against water poisoning.At the same time, the police and the prosecutor's office have no problems withprosecuting and demanding the punishment of participants in environmentalcampaigns. Politicians boldly use phrases such as "eco-terrorists" in theirpropaganda. The president of the country once became famous for his speechdenying climate change, in the political halls of the ruling party denying humancontribution to the climate catastrophe is in fact the norm.In such a political atmosphere, it is difficult to believe in real actions aimedat identifying and prosecuting the perpetrators of the ecological disaster on theOdra River. The sluggish actions to contaminate the Warta River are an example ofhow to "fight" the polluters in Poland. That is why our today's symbolic actionwas to show that there are still people in the country who look at the hands ofthe prosecutor's office and demand action against the perpetrators of riverpoisoning.At the end of the protest, to remind the prosecution of their own investigation,a statue of a dead fish was left in front of the building. It is to remind youthat as a result of poisoning, nearly 20 tons of dead fish were caught from theWarta River, and the perpetrator of this action still remains unpunished.www.rozbrat.orghttps://federacja-anarchistyczna.pl/2022/08/22/gdy-truciciel-bezkarny-los-ryb-marny-relacja-z-pikiety/_________________________________________A - I N F O S N E W S S E R V I C EBy, For, and About AnarchistsSend news reports to A-infos-en mailing listA-infos-en@ainfos.ca
