Poland's ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party is intervening following the mass deaths of fish in the Oder River, a crisis sparking public outrage. The party is demanding a response from the European Commission regarding potential causes and environmental impact. Notably, they’ve also appealed to Nobel laureate Olga Tokarczuk to publicly address the situation, likely hoping to leverage her influence. The fish die-off, affecting both Poland and Germany, began in early August and has raised concerns about water contamination. Authorities are investigating potential causes, including industrial pollution, agricultural runoff, and high temperatures. The incident has become a political issue, with the opposition blaming the government's environmental policies. PiS aims to demonstrate its commitment to addressing the environmental disaster and securing EU support.
