The broader context of the crisis in agriculture
It is true that the genesis of the crisis in agriculture has its origins in the policies of the European Commission. Farmers are not only protesting in Poland, farmers are also protesting in several other Western European countries. A common denominator of these protests is of course the war in Ukraine and the consequences of this war. But farmers in Poland, for example, mainly protest against the import of Ukrainian grain to Poland, and in Greece, for example, because of high energy prices. In Western European countries, such as Germany or Spain, this protest is related to the high price of diesel oil. It just provides some background that the causes of this crisis must be seen in a broader context in the first place
– said the politician.
Who deals the cards in the European Parliament?
When asked about President Andrzej Duda’s role in solving the problems of Polish farmers, Poboży pointed out that “agriculture is the domain of government activities.”

At the moment, full responsibility for this issue lies with Prime Minister Tusk, who himself emphasizes this many times and is very proud of the fact that he has been present as a politician in the European salons for many years. After all, he is a former President of the European Council and, after all, one of the leaders of the European People’s Party, which deals the cards in the European Parliament, or more broadly – in the European Union, together with socialists and democrats
– explained the adviser to the president.
That is why Donald Tusk now holds all the keys to solving the crisis in agriculture
– he emphasized.
These are decisions of the European Commission
When asked about the role of Janusz Wojciechowski, EU Commissioner for Agriculture, he replied that Wojciechowski “is a member of the collegial body in which policy is created by the European People’s Party.”
Commissioner Wojciechowski is implementing a policy here that is a consequence of the decisions taken in the European Commission
– Błażej Poboży added.
