US plans for a “Star Wars” missile base in Poland have been met with wide spread opposition and protests, including a mass protest taking place in Warsaw on March 15. Demonstrators marched to parliament and then the US embassy calling for the Polish president and prime minister to withdraw their support for US plans. On March 29, hundreds protested in the regional city of Slupsk where the US missile base is planned to be built. Polls show 60% of Slupsk residents are against the proposed base and 87% demand a referendum on the issue. The opposition level is similar throughout Poland.
