The only pests against which Polish forests have to be defended today are PiS and Solidarna Polska, who have settled in them and released them. We want to put an end to this, KO MPs said on Saturday, presenting the postulates they intend to implement.
Politicians of the Civic Coalition – Urszula Zielińska, Marta Golbik and Andrzej Domański – raised the situation regarding Poland’s forests at a press conference on Saturday.
KO politicians call PiS and SP “pests” of forests
Member of Parliament Zielińska stressed that “the only pests against which Polish forests have to be defended today are Law and Justice and Solidarna Polska”, because they “inhabited the forests and gave them the right to vote”.
We want to put an end to this
– she assured and presented the postulates that KO wants to implement after winning the election.
The MP indicated that the first of these was the exclusion of 20 percent. area of Polish forests of active forest management, so that these areas are protected. “Second, we want full social control over forest management plans to be finally restored,” she said.
Thirdly, we will stop promoting and subsidizing the burning of Polish forests in large power plants
she added. Zielińska explained that KO wants to allocate the profit and money recovered in this way to the development of RES.
MP Golbik recalled that Earth Day is celebrated on Saturday. In this context, she spoke about the policy of PiS and SP, which is in charge of managing state forests in Poland.
We know that huge quantities of Polish trees are exported, eg to China. Do they really have to go there? Shouldn’t we leave this national treasure with us in Poland?
she asked.
It has been calculated that since 2016 so many trees have been cut down in Poland that if you put trucks on which these trees are placed one behind the other, they can circle the globe one and a half times along the equator. This shows the magnitude of robbing our most important national asset
– she said.
Currently, about 39-40 million m3 of trees are felled in Poland and almost 5 million m3 leave Poland
– said Andrzej Domański, chief economist of the Civic Institute. He stressed that the felling of Polish forests is twice as high as at the beginning of the economic transformation.
Growing exports translate into rising timber prices and low availability. Sawmills are suffering, the furniture industry is suffering. The predatory forest policy of United Right – Law and Justice and Solidarna Polska is not only a disaster for Polish forests, but also a growing problem for Polish entrepreneurs
he assessed.
Tusk’s words and Solidarity Poland’s response
In early April, PO leader Donald Tusk said at a meeting of the Civic Coalition club in Toruń that he was “breathtaking” when he saw Solidarity Poland leader Zbigniew Ziobro and his “comrades of Solidarity Poland” who “occupy” Polish Forests, at the same time saying that they are starting to defend Polish forests against the European Union. As he added, these are “guests who led to the biggest tree-cutting in Poland’s history”. He stressed that during their forest management, “Poland has become one of the largest exporters of timber to China”.
He noted that in Poland we have to pay “terrible prices” for Polish wood, “because Ziobro and his gang decided to play a – gangster in a sense – but also brilliant trick, which was to dress in the clothes of a defender of Poland’s forests and make incredible money from them directly, exposing us to the loss of the forest, the collapse of domestic companies. “This is the number of the century,” emphasized the leader of the PO.
Politicians of Solidarna Polska, referring to the words of the PO leader, then argued that “Tusk lied about the forest and forestry.”
“We are not allowed to use lies for political attacks.”
– said Deputy Minister of Justice Michał Woś at a press conference.
“Tusk said that forests are of worse and worse quality, while there is an increase in acreage, there are more forests, forests are of better quality, according to the studies of specialists.
he said. He added that in the past 10 years, for example, there have been more than 100-year-old trees, and in forestry “there is an improvement in every category, because the State Forests are well managed by professionals, people who love nature.”
“We express our deep opposition to the outrageous attacks that Mr. Tusk carries out on the state forests.
he stressed.
“We must defend the Polish forests, because a voice like today, the voice of Donald Tusk, is proof that there is a plan. Plan by Brussels, Berlin and Donald Tusk to take control of a third of Poland’s territory
Kowalski said.
“This control would be exercised by Brussels through its agencies and the Poles would lose the opportunity to enter the forest and spend their free time there.
– said Deputy Minister of Agriculture Janusz Kowalski, also from Solidarna Polska.
