“There is no time for cabaret and cheap tricks, you have to act! The Minister of Development should immediately issue a regulation extending the embargo to additional products from Ukraine or close the border completely. This can be done under Polish regulations, on one condition – without fear of the European Union! – emphasized Mateusz Morawiecki in a post on Facebook. The former prime minister said it was his government that showed it was possible.
Crisis on the Polish-Ukrainian border
Peasant protests have been going on in many European countries for several weeks, including: Belgium, the Netherlands, Germany, France, Greece, the Czech Republic, Italy, Hungary and Slovakia. Farmers are protesting against the low prices of agricultural products, the European Green Deal and the cheap imports of agricultural products from outside the European Union. Polish farmers are also protesting and blocking border crossings with Ukraine, among other things – they will oppose the inflow of Ukrainian goods.
Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky appealed to Donald Tusk for a meeting of the two countries’ governments on their common border, which would take place before the second anniversary of the Russian invasion of his country on Saturday. Zelenskiy also asked President Andrzej Duda to support this dialogue. This is a matter of national security, the President of Ukraine emphasized.
He noted that the border blockade increases the threat to the supply of weapons to soldiers at the front. He announced that on the Ukrainian side, “the entire government, from logistics to the agricultural sector, and of course the Minister of Defense of Ukraine” will appear at the border.
All it takes is one bold decision
The former head of the Polish government, Mateusz Morawiecki, commented on the farmers’ protest and the situation at the Polish-Ukrainian border on social media.
What to do about the crisis situation on the Polish-Ukrainian border? Prime Minister Tusk with his ministers Siekierski and Kołodziejczak they split, they tinker, they are afraid of solutions that are in line with the interests of Polish farmers
– pointed to Mateusz Morawiecki.
There is no time for cabaret and cheap tricks, you must act! The Minister of Development should do that immediately issue a regulation and extend the embargo for more products from Ukraine or close the border completely. This can be done under Polish regulations, under one condition: without fear of the European Union! My government has shown that it is possible one decisive decision
– emphasized the former Prime Minister.
Subsidies are needed for farmers. Will you help them prepare? At the same time they must be introduced system solutions. If the Prime Minister and his supporters have no solutions, then… We can helpTrade on the “local shelf” and mark fresh products with the Polish flag can be introduced in no time! All this to ensure that the interests of Polish farmers are secured as quickly as possible
– emphasized Mateusz Morawiecki in a post on Facebook.
