The full story

On November 6, 2026, neighbourhood groups, trade unions, ecological organizations, and representatives of the Razem party gathered near the Sejm in Warsaw to protest the rapid and unregulated expansion of data centers in Poland. Organized by the Stop Serwerowni Piaseczno initiative as part of a wider European action, the demonstration brought together dozens of participants who criticized high energy and water consumption by data centers and their impact on local communities. Representatives from the Stowarzyszenie Aktywnych Sąsiadów (SAS) collected signatures for a moratorium on processing large data center permits, while Stop Serwerowni Piaseczno petitioned the Prime Minister to intervene regarding specific server farm investments in the Piaseczno municipality. No official government or authority response was detailed in the sources.
