ADRIAN MAERSK

"On Saturday, June 14, the Equality Parade, which took place under the slogan "The answer is love", passed through Warsaw. In the parade, next to LGBTQ+ people, the supporters of the community also took part, who together in a peaceful way wanted to manifest their support for the idea of ​​equality and tolerance. There was an incident during the event. A group of people blocked a truck transporting a container belonging to the company Maersk, a Danish transport company. Parade participants poured a blood -like substance onto a truck and entered the container. As Wirtualna Polska reports, several people waved the flag of Palestine. "Maersk provides weapons for genocide," said one of the banners. Participants of the march accuse the company of hypocrisy. In connection with the incident, the organizers interrupted the event for several minutes"

"For me as lesbian pride is a very important event in which I would like to participate, especially after the results of the presidential election. At the same time, once again, the presence of companies that directly contribute to the genocide in Palestine makes, that being on a parade without opposition is a quiet agreement of this genocide. We want to be visible, we want to take part in parades, but not those sponsored by the murderers. The parade did not withdraw Maerska or other companies despite the opposition, so the only thing we could do was block the platform. I'm glad, That, despite exposing ourselves to violence from the police and arrest, we were able to oppose and stick together - says the participant of the parade in an interview with Gazeta.pl. He adds that he is noticed. The interlocutor reports that the police surrounded the protesters, both those who were on the truck and the people who stood next to it. - They pushed the protesters. It is unimaginably sad for me. They also caught people trying to slip away from the surroundings, we were pressed to the railing and surrounded from three sides for the fact that we were wearing kefije (traditional Arab headgear - ed.) And we shouted propaletic slogans - he adds. Let us remind you that Maersk issued a statement in March, which emphasized that the company "warns the rigorous policy of non -weapon and ammunition to the active conflict zones, ensuring compliance with international regulations and compliance with the company's values." "Although we realize that our line may not coincide with everyone, We assure you that we are within the framework that defines responsible business practices and maintain our values ​​" - we read"
