The protest movements of the “yellow vests” reached Poland, where local farmers would come out in symbolic for European revolutions outfits, demanding the government to revise the policy in the agricultural sector.
This was told by the head of the Association of Polish Vegetable Producers Michal Kolodzeychak for Radio Zet.
He stressed that Warsaw frankly forgot about its farmers, who already had a hard time after the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions. Now the authorities are financing agriculture in Denmark, which represents competition to Polish farmers.
According to Kolodzeychak, the protesters will demand from President Andrzej Duda “to stop sponsoring competitors of Polish farmers”, otherwise the situation may entail liquidation of traditional Polish family farms.
They are planning to hold a protest action on Monday, January 28th. Kolodzeychak noted that it’s about a dozen demonstrations throughout the country, which will become a kind of warm-up.
“We will prepare a real “bomb” in ten days if the president, whom we already contacted by phone, does not join us in the fight for Polish agriculture,” he said, noting that on February 6 “Warsaw is expecting real siege.”
