We don’t want anyone eating meat. I deny all these stupidities and manipulations repeated by those in power. It is PiS that is taking meat from Poland because their policies lead to inflation and high prices that few people can afford to eat meat every day, Warsaw Mayor Rafał Trzaskowski said in an interview with Wirtualna Polska.
In an interview published on the wp.pl portal, he referred to the reaction of politicians from PiS and Solidarna Polska to the C40 Cities report – an association of mayors of nearly 100 cities, including Warsaw, created to counter the climate crisis. Recommendations in the report included limiting consumption of meat, dairy products, buying clothes, cars and air travel.
The C40 Cities report was detailed in “Dziennik Gazeta Prawna” on Tuesday. Deputy Justice Minister, Solidarity Poland politician Sebastian Kaleta cited recommendations regarding, among other things, reducing meat consumption to 16 kg per person per year and asked if Rafał Trzaskowski would introduce food rations to Varsovians.
You could say it’s a “North Korea Plus” program; pursuing left-wing ideologies for the ideal, i.e. North Korea, where the car is a luxury item or non-existent, clothes are usually not new, used only and in limited quantities, and food is rarely eaten
Krzysztof Sobolewski, General Secretary of PiS, commented on the first program of Polish Radio.
In an interview with Wirtualna Polska, Trzaskowski emphasized that “the discussion started thanks to a report from years ago, in which experts put forward theories about how to reduce the ecological footprint.”
These are not obligations, so it is nonsense for anyone to want to ban Poland from eating meat or introduce other restrictions. No one ever came up with that idea
said the mayor of Warsaw.
According to him, “PiS has panicked since they allowed such manipulations.” In his opinion, PiS politicians previously threatened that he would “teach masturbation in kindergartens” and threatened to bring Islamic terrorists, and now they are talking “uncreated things” again.
PiS is known for entering our lives with shoes. They are communists and have the mentality of a total commune: faith in one infallible leader, an effort to impose their patterns, to raise Polish women and men, and the privileged position of party members on whom state money is spent. Incredible propaganda, lies and manipulation. This is pure communism
said Trzaskowski.
The mayor of the capital stressed that the aim of the city’s food policy is for residents to eat healthily and not to waste food.
We’ve created places where you can bring products with short expiration dates so they can go to people in need. We talk about how to eat healthy, how to limit “junk food” in schools, but we don’t order anything, we don’t force anyone to switch to a vegetarian diet
he said.
In our nurseries, kindergartens and schools, we provide, as far as possible, a diet adapted to the different needs of children (including vegetarians). Absolutely no one thinks about any restrictions and the city has never signed any binding decisions on this. We are not going to tell Polish women and men what to eat. Although a little thinking about how to eat healthy or how to fight obesity never hurt anyone
said Trzaskowski.
Trzaskowski’s recording
The mayor of Warsaw also shot a film about restrictions on eating meat. In it, he accused PiS of inventing the case
The politicians of the United Right exceed the limits of absurdity. Now they have come up with the idea that I will ban eating meat and dairy products in Warsaw. I haven’t heard such nonsense in a long time. (…) There will be no bans in Warsaw, no one is preparing to introduce cards
– says Trzaskowski in the recording.
