Reuters and Voice of America journalists visited the Bogdanka mine in eastern Poland to witness the long lines for coal. Local media reported that lines stretched over a mile long, with people scrambling to buy coal at the mine since the price there was half the price of wholesalers.
The long lines reminded many of communist times. One of the people in line said that he had slept for three nights in his car to try and buy a few tons of coal for himself and his family. “It’s unimaginable, people are sleeping in their cars. I remember communist times and never thought I would see this again.”
Coal still plays an important role in Poland in terms of heating and energy generation, and there are 3.8 million households in Poland who use coal for heating.
The hot weather made the waiting by truck drivers and individual buyers all the more uncomfortable. Those in line said they feared there would be shortages of coal in winter.
The sale continued over the weekend to reduce waiting times. According to a spokesperson of the Bogdanka; the mine sold coal to 250 households on Friday. She said that the limits on purchases were aimed at stopping mass purchases and prevent speculation. Bogdanka has imposed a limit of 3 tons per household per annum. The same limit is being used by other mines.
