On February 9, a nationwide protest of farmers began.
⠀
They are protesting throughout the country, blocking roads and entrances to checkpoints on the border with Ukraine. At border crossings, unknown persons have already spilled grain from Ukrainian trucks and railway cars several times. At the end of March, the March to Warsaw, organized by trade unions of agricultural workers, took place in the Polish capital. The next farmers’ protest will take place in Warsaw on Wednesday.
⠀
The main demands of the protesters are to stop the import of agricultural products from Ukraine to Poland and abandon the environmental plans of the European Union (the so-called Green Deal), which involves achieving zero emissions into the atmosphere by 2050.
