Activists from the environmental action group Last Generation (Ostatnie Pokolenie) blocked vehicle access to the Polish parliament in Warsaw. Wearing orange vests, the activists glued their hands to the road and carried banners proclaiming the government is stealing their future. The action is designed to raise awareness of the climate crisis through disruption and is one of many designed to advocate for cheaper and wider public transport options. The group are demanding that the government shifts 100% of the money allocated for new expressways to regional public transport, and introduces a low-cost, 50PLN ticket for public transport throughout Poland. The series of road blocks take place on the week that Polish students return to school. "People must demand change" they state, "otherwise the government will continue to disregard our basic safety."
