In Krakow, Poland, a ban on the sale of alcohol at night will apply from July. The idea from the workshop of the city management was accepted at a meeting of local deputies.
As reported by the server Interia.plKrakow is the first major city in Poland to introduce a nighttime curfew.
The ban on the sale of alcohol will apply from midnight to 5:30 in the morning. However, the new rules will not apply to restaurants and bars.
“It’s not an optimal solution, but a compromise,” said a local activist for the reduction of alcohol sales in an interview with Interia.pl, saying that if the new rules are insufficient, the prohibition time will be extended from 11:00 p.m. to 6:00 a.m.
The municipality ordered surveys, while 47% of respondents were in favor of the changes in question and 42% were against. The rest had no opinion.
The introduction of the ban was made possible thanks to an amendment to the law on education for sobriety and the fight against alcoholism, which has been in force in Poland since 2018.
Although according to some it is just a cosmetic change or rather a gesture, not all Poles are excited about this news. “Everyone should have the right to choose.” “And I liked Krakow so much,” Poles comment on social networks.
