Recently, Michał Kołodziejczak, the leader of the Civic Coalition’s Konin list, suffered a spectacular defeat. He posted extensively on social media about his visit to Strasbourg and stated that he would replace Agriculture Minister Robert Telus in his position. However, during the press conference he could not even explain where he had gotten the information that the embargo on grain from Ukraine would be extended. Ultimately it was not extended.

““I’m going to Strasbourg”

I’m going to Strasbourg. I’m going to fight for Polish farmers, I’m going to fight for Polish bread. This is a priority for us

– Michał Kołodziejczak announced this on Twitter last Tuesday.

He reported extensively on his visit and assured that things were going in the right direction.

Moreover, he behaved as if he were replacing Secretary Robert Telus in his duties regarding Ukraine’s grain embargo.

Robert Telus can breathe easy, I’m on my way to the airport. Task accomplished

– He wrote.

On Twitter he extensively reported on his visit to Strasbourg, posting photos and recordings with the head of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and the President of the European Parliament, Roberta Metsola, who addressed him as “Hello, Michał . Nice to meet you.”

Prime Minister @MorawieckiM, why did you sleep for 1.5 years about Ukrainian grain? Now I will take care of the affairs of Polish farmers for you

We are in Strasbourg. We are working The destabilization of agricultural markets is a threat to Poland’s food security The ban on the import of Ukrainian grains must be expanded, we must develop structural solutions. This is POLISH STATE REASON

In the discussion about the import of Ukrainian grain, we should not forget that it concerns Polish bread. I spoke to @vonderleyen about this important issue

It all ended when the EU did not enforce the grain import ban after September 15 and Poland had to make this difficult, but necessary decision to defend Polish agriculture on its own. It turned out that not everything was as the leader of AgroUnia claimed.

You were playing snake on your phone, sitting in the tour gallery and you weren’t working. Atencius.

However, Kołodziejczak, who in the past had a grudge against the PiS government for “bringing us into a fight with Russia, our biggest customer”, drove a tractor on the flag of the European Union, gave the middle finger to the United States and railed against the Polish project to create a raspberry plantation in Ukraine, is the most outspoken in its attack on the government.

“We have information from various sources”

What happened when the photo sessions with EU officials and pleasantries like “Hello Michał, nice to meet you” turned from a press conference explaining where he got the information about the plans to extend the embargo?

Who confirmed to you that this embargo would be extended?

– asked Dominika Cosić, TVP correspondent in Brussels.

Madam Editor, today we received information from various sources that it will take two months. You can be sure that – unlike some TV stations – we can be trusted

– replied Kołodziejczak, while at the same time trying to be angry with public television.

Interestingly enough, standing next to him all the time… was an important PO politician, Andrzej Halicki.

When the journalist asked if anyone had made such statements or promises to the first KO list in Konin, he replied evasively:

We have this information, but if it happens, let’s wait

How Kołodziejczak helped Polish farmers

“We did what we could”

To get out of his embarrassment, Michał Kołodziejczak later argued that the extension of the embargo had been arranged, but the situation changed after Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky called the President of the European Commission, Ursula von der Leyen, and of course everything was PiS. debt.

The Ukrainians were determined and united. ZelenskyyUa called @vonderleyen today. What did @MorawieckiM do? For months he cooked black soup for Polish farmers. We did what we could. PiS was digging holes and arguing with the EU. The biggest mistake was made by Morawiecki, who unilaterally broke off negotiations during our efforts in the EU, announcing that he did not want to talk and that #PiS was going for confrontations. The order of business should be that we support each other at the EU forum. A Poland divided by PiS will never be able to negotiate effectively. A HOUSE DIVIDED WILL NEVER END. We, unlike PiS, wanted to support the Polish government, but the hand that was supposed to help Polish farmers was rejected.

It is understandable that Kołodziejczak, who has so far been involved in throwing fruit and grain onto the streets, brawling in parliamentary committees and ministries, anti-American and anti-EU tirades in front of the Sejm, and spreading fake news about fuel prices on street, On the day of the Russian attack on Ukraine, which caused panic in society, he still has a lot to learn about politics if he wants to become a member of the Sejm of the Republic of Poland. But when he speaks on an issue, he can read it from cover to cover and see how the European Union – the same European Union whose flag he crushed with a tractor not so long ago – acted on it.
