Emerging in spring 2026, the newly formed climate movement Klimatyczny Jazda! has shifted tactics from blocking streets to targeting wealthy elites and high-profile Polish celebrities over their consumerist lifestyles. . **Body:** <\/p>\n
The Klimatyczny Jazda! movement was established in the spring of 2026, shortly after the dissolution of Ostatnie Pokolenie. While the majority of its members previously belonged to the older group, the new organization has announced a change in strategy and protest methods, expanding its focus from transport to social inequality and the climate responsibility of the ultra-wealthy.<\/p>\n
Spokesperson Beata Wro\u0144ska stated that the group currently numbers between a dozen and around one hundred individuals from various cities and backgrounds. The organization combines educational efforts, political lobbying, peaceful direct actions, and local protests while maintaining that climate policy must not come at the expense of ordinary residents.<\/p>\n
The movement’s primary demands center on transportation, calling for massive investments in rail and bus connections\u2014especially in smaller towns\u2014rather than billions spent on highways and expressways. A central proposal is the introduction of a single 50-PLN monthly ticket valid across municipal transport, regional trains, and intercity buses, alongside shifting freight transport from roads to railways.<\/p>\n
Following initial actions in Pozna\u0144 and Katowice concerning municipal ticket pricing and transport exclusion, the organization launched a nationwide “50 PLN Ticket” campaign on June 1 to pressure politicians into adopting the transit bill currently before the Sejm.<\/p>\n
On July 22, the movement gained widespread notoriety with an action in Warsaw under the slogan “The elites have shat themselves\u2014time to clean up after yourselves.” Activists poured a harmless brown mixture made from cocoa, coffee, flour, and water over the entrance to the Wilan\u00f3w property of influencers Angelika and \u0141ukasz Trochonowicz (Andziaks and Luka), as well as Andziaks’s Twinkle Candle shop and Ma\u0142gorzata Rozenek-Majdan\u2019s boutique.<\/p>\n
Activists criticized the celebrities for arrogantly promoting a hyper-consumptive, high-emission lifestyle that drives the climate crisis. Representatives highlighted that Poland’s richest 10 percent emit more than the majority of the population combined, while pointing to criticisms over the public exposure of the influencers’ children amid global warming impacts.<\/p>\n
On Friday, July 24, activists escalated their campaign by targeting television presenter Filip Chajzer, throwing rotting fruit from a local market at his Kreuzberg Kraft Kebap bar in Krak\u00f3w after leaving a critical letter at his apartment building.<\/p>\n
The movement condemned Chajzer for climate denialism, ostentatious high-emission travel, and consumerist displays. Activists contrasted his lifestyle and controversies surrounding charity fundraisers with the everyday struggles of ordinary workers, while reiterating their primary legislative priority regarding public transportation and the 50-PLN ticket.<\/p>\n
While moving away from the systematic road-blocking tactics used by Ostatnie Pokolenie, Klimatyczny Jazda! continues to employ disruptive civil disobedience. The group intends to maintain pressure on politicians, affluent entrepreneurs, and celebrities, combining traditional manifestations and debates with high-profile media stunts.<\/p>\n<\/p>\n
