“The fact that Donald Tusk, despite the Kremlin’s obvious admission to Michał Kołodziejczak by supporting his political story of Maria Zacharowa, invited AgroUnia to his lists, made such a decision and implemented the previously chosen plan, means that PO already knows that on the Polish villages have no business,” Janusz Kowalski, State Secretary of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, told the wPolityce.pl portal.
AgroUnia on the citizen platform lists
The news that AgroUnia will start from the Civic Platform lists has electrified public opinion.
I will ask Michał Kołodziejczak from Agrounia to come on the podium. I am extremely pleased that such people with different pedigrees, different ways of life and (…) we did not hesitate for a moment
– said Civic Platform President Donald Tusk at today’s meeting of the National Council of PO.
Kołodziejczak admitted that he had considered many pros and cons in this matter, but finally decided that “we have the state of emergency”.
I believe in it and I will do everything: we will win from PiS, we will take back the village from PiS
he said.
AgroUnia is a group that is causing quite a stir. She repeatedly attacked United Right politicians (e.g. Patryk Jaki), and Michał Kołodziejczak once blamed the PiS government for “us quarreling with Russia, our best ally”, which he shouted at a meeting of one of the parliamentary commissions. In addition, shortly after the Russian attack on Ukraine, Kołodziejczak spread disinformation about fuel prices on social media, causing panic in Poland. After the brawl at the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, which AgroUnia caused at the end of July, the group was delighted with … Russian Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesman Maria Zacharowa, deputy head of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development Janusz Kowalski , who had a sharp exchange of views with representatives of the group in the ministry.

“Tusk’s plan was obvious
We asked Deputy Agriculture Minister Janusz Kowalski for comment on Tusk’s alliance with Kołodziejczak. The wPolityce.pl interlocutor drew attention to a certain coincidence between today’s decision of the PO leader and the events of the end of July.
Donald Tusk’s plan was obvious. On July 27, the senators of the Civic Platform (PO) begin the procedure to ban PLN 6.5 billion in aid to Polish farmers in the Senate to hit Polish farmers and create a crisis. Exactly at the same hour, a group of farmers from the pro-Russian AgroUnion entered the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, led by Michał Kołodziejczak and Krzysztof M., accused of animal cruelty by the prosecutor’s office, who of course is not a farmer (he ran an illegal breeding of dogs and cats, what are the allegations of the prosecution
Kowalski points out.
The plan was obvious: to create a new crisis in the Polish countryside. This plan by Donald Tusk is supported by the EPP, Manfred Weber’s party, to which Platforma Obywatelska and PSL belong, to open the Polish market on September 15 to re-import Polish wheat, corn, rapeseed and sunflower seeds
he adds.
We foresaw this plan, we prevented the achievement of the goal of the adventurers of the AgroUnia party on July 27, namely the occupation of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, the cabinet of Minister Robert Telus
– emphasized the Deputy Head of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
The Civic Platform and Michał Kołodziejczak needed images from television in the coming days, so that Kremlin propaganda and centers unfavorable to Polish agriculture, such as German or Dutch, could show the occupation of the constitutional cabinet of the Minister of Agriculture, which the Polish bargaining position
he adds.
What has Kolodziejczak led to?
Minister Kowalski points out that Michał Kołodziejczak has thwarted important talks between the head of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development, Robert Telus, and the Ukrainian Minister of Agriculture.
I would like to remind you that very important talks between Minister Telus and his Ukrainian counterpart on the reopening of the Ukrainian Polish poultry market were due to take place on July 27 and were blocked by Michał Kołodziejczak.
– indicates.
In the context of today’s Civic Platform decision, when I predicted a few weeks ago that Michał Kołodziejczak was in harmony with Donald Tusk, many believed I was wrong. Today, however, we have very clear evidence that this was Donald Tusk’s plan executed directly with Michał Kołodziejczak
– emphasizes the State Secretary at the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
Kremlin support for AgroUnion
What Michał Kołodziejczak and Platforma Obywatelska did on July 27 met with two reactions. On July 28, the United Right’s tough stance in the Sejm led the Civic Platform to withdraw its amendment in the Senate, depriving Polish farmers of PLN 6.5 billion. We simply forced them to withdraw from this disgraceful amendment that affects Polish farmers
– points to the interlocutor of wPolityce.pl.
Decades later, on July 29, Russia conceded to AgroUnion in diplomatic language. Maria Zacharowa’s words about Michał Kołodziejczak and his attempt to occupy the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development should be read as such. Statements of support from Moscow for Michał Kołodziejczak, who is on the lists today of PO – the party led by the most pro-Russian Prime Minister of the Third Polish Republic, Donald Tusk, who in 2007-2014, as part of the “reset” with Russia pursued policies in line with the Kremlin’s political interests, this is no coincidence
adds Kowalski.
In this case, it is worth asking if this is the reason – among others, because of such decisions – is Donald Tusk so afraid of the commission of deputinization, the commission of investigation of Russian influence? Pro-Russian politicians, openly supported by the Kremlin, are on Civic Platform lists today
— highlights and draws attention to another interesting figure on the lists of the Civic Platform:
Bogusław Wołoszański, former secret security officer. And yet Donald Tusk promises former Communist secret police officials to restore their pension rights and invites former Soviet collaborators and secret collaborators to his lists.
This shows where Civic Platform stands today. In my opinion, this is a party steeped in Russian influence, screwed up in defense of communism and the period of Soviet occupation of Poland, drawing on those people
– evaluates Deputy Minister Kowalski.
“PO already knows that there is nothing to look for in the Polish countryside
But the fact that Donald Tusk, despite the Kremlin’s clear admission to Michał Kołodziejczak by supporting his political narrative of Maria Zacharowa, invited AgroUnia to his lists, made such a decision and is implementing the previously chosen plan, means that PO already knows that there is nothing to look for in the Polish countryside
– adds the Deputy Head of the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development.
The platform already knows that their so-called agro-clubs have not succeeded, the platform already knows that farmers will not forgive wanting to take PLN 6.5 billion from them, and on September 15, Manfred Weber’s EVP wants to open the Polish market to the import of rapeseed, wheat, maize and sunflower seeds from Ukraine
– emphasizes Janusz Kowalski.
In my opinion, this is an act of some political desperation – to cause brawls, to destabilize Polish agriculture, to provoke – this is part of the PO’s way of thinking: adventurism
he adds.
They fought on the Polish-Belarusian border, today allies of the Platform, people who will be on the list, are fighting at the Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development. But we will defend ourselves against these provocations and win the elections
– sums up the Deputy Minister of Agriculture.
