Central Warsaw turned into a protest venue, as protesters demonstrated against European Union's trade policies. Demonstrators accuse the bloc of pursuing trade strategies that would harm the interests and needs of Polish farmers.
A large-scale protest erupted in central Warsaw, as farmers' organizations rallied against the European Union's trade and agriculture policies. The demonstration, organized by Poland's alliance of agricultural organizations, began in the early afternoon near the European Commission's Representation in Poland.
Protesters carried Polish flags and banners as they marched through the streets, voicing their discontent.
The protest in central Warsaw, targeted several EU policies, including the MERCOSUR trade agreement, the Green Deal, imports from Ukraine, and concerns over the management of Polish forests and hunting. Demonstrators argued these policies were detrimental to Poland's agricultural sector.
The head of Poland's Institute of National Remembrance and presidential candidate of the Law and Justice Party, Karol Nawrocki addressed the crowd that he is supporting Polish farmers.
"I will cherish Polish farmers of course and I stand still in this case, which Polish agriculture is very important for Polish economy." - he stated.
Polish Agriculture Minister Czeslaw Siekierski also commented on the protest, stating that he expects the farmers to present detailed demands. He reaffirmed the Polish government's opposition to the Mercosur agreement on agricultural issues and emphasized ongoing efforts to build a blocking minority within the EU to prevent its adoption.
The protest underscores growing tensions between Polish farmers and the EU, as well as concerns over the impact of international agreements and environmental policies on local agriculture.
