Lack of Polish Army orders leads to violent protest

Unrest in the Polish defence industry results in clashes with police

Published: 7/2/1999

On June 24th 1999, Polish police clashed with some 1,000 workers of the Lucznik armament plant in Radom, who were demonstrating outside the Defense Ministry in Warsaw. The police used tear gas, water cannons, and rubber bullets, while the protesters attacked the police with fire crackers, stones, and metal signs ripped from the roadside. Several dozen people were injured in the battle, including a journalist who lost one eye. The Lucznik workers, who have staged many protests in recent months, are demanding that the government buy armaments for the Polish army from their plant. They are also demanding the dismissal of Mr Janusz Onyszkiewicz, Defence Minister, who, they claim, is responsible for the decline of Poland's defence industry.
