“Poland should put pressure on the EC, on key EU politicians, and also work at the UN to return to this agreement under the protection of the UN, where Black Sea trade was unblocked,” said PiS- MP Zbigniew Kuźmiuk in an interview with Małgorzata Jarecka on Telewizja wPoland.
Kuźmiuk assessed that Prime Minister Donald Tusk had not decided to meet farmers and that this is one of the many tricks that the PO leader uses in his political career.

Pulling hot chestnuts
Unfortunately, all indications are that Donald Tusk is afraid of meeting directly with farmers, so he actually avoided this meeting. As far as I know, knowing when the protest in Warsaw would take place and knowing that farmers wanted to come to the Prime Minister’s office, he proposed a meeting of the Visegrad Group to his colleagues from the governments of the Czech Republic, Slovakia and Hungary. . Officially he has an excuse, but the date of the Visegrad Group meeting was chosen by Donald Tusk himself, knowing that there would be farmers in Warsaw that day. Moreover, Donald Tusk specializes in pulling hot chestnuts out of the fire with the hands of others. As we look at the actions of this government since it came to power, I will remind you that the attack on the public media is being carried out by Minister Sienkiewicz, and Donald Tusk is somewhere in the background. Minister Kierwiński was responsible for the arrest of MPs Wąsik and Kamiński, although Donald Tusk is known to have issued and continues to issue instructions in this matter. The destruction of the public prosecutor’s office and the judiciary is being carried out by Minister Bodnar, and Donald Tusk is in the background
– said Kuźmiuk.
As for the farmers, he wants PSL Minister Siekierski to pull these hot chestnuts out of the fire, and he has no other choice, although as you can see, he is also afraid of farmers. Not to mention the Marshal of the Sejm, who erected barriers around himself and sent Minister Cichocki to talk to peasants, and, as I understand it, took refuge in the Sejm building. There are no brave people in this government, and farmers have two simple demands: blocking the import of agricultural products from Ukraine, which the government can do with one regulation, and a change in Brussels policy, which Donald Tusk promised by saying that he: as an experienced politician and President of the European Council, you cannot beat anyone. However, it is clear that he has been cheated on the EU’s duty-free trade deal with Ukraine, or has done nothing about it
– he pointed out.
The work in the European Parliament has just been completed, the issue was discussed in the Trade Committee and there the representatives of the EPP and Donald Tusk’s party supported it most. Everything indicates that this agreement will eventually be accepted, so the farmers here in Poland are simply deceived by the fact that something is being negotiated there, there will be some kind of blockade. The current farm government is cheating, which we can clearly see, as the duty-free trade agreement is extended for another year until June 2025
– added.
Ukrainian exports
The PiS MP also referred to the classification of alleged documents related to the Polish government’s talks with Ukraine on the import of huge quantities of Ukrainian food.
There is an embargo on these four species: two grains, two types of seeds: wheat, corn, rapeseed and sunflower. If this kind of product appears from Ukraine, it means that it was made illegally, because the embargo is in force. It is of course against EU law, because the common trade policy is the prerogative of the EU, but the PiS government introduced this embargo on April 15, 2023 and it has not yet been lifted. Moreover, it is clear that the EC is afraid to file a complaint with the CJEU and impose fines on Poland, so for now it is only a Polish decision. However, farmers are demanding further decisions blocking Ukrainian exports, as these exports disrupt the Polish market for sugar, which is not covered by the embargo, honey, raspberries, chicken, eggs, etc. and shift them to other markets.
– he pointed out.
Poland should put pressure on the European Commission, on key EU politicians, and also work at the UN to return to this agreement under the auspices of the UN, where Black Sea trade was unblocked. If there is no unblocking, there will be pressure on Poland and the Polish government will have to do everything because this has happened.
– emphasized Zbigniew Kuźmiuk.
