Protests on the Polish border: Polish minister names the person responsible for blocking the border

In a new wave of protests, European farmers are opposing the Green Deal policy and the uncontrolled inflow of agricultural products from Ukraine. Poland’s Minister of Agriculture is the most frequent critic of the European Commission and calls for a revision of trade agreements with Ukraine.

It is the European Commission that is responsible for the uncontrolled inflow of agricultural products from Ukraine to European markets and the underestimation of the consequences of the Green Deal, which has caused massive protests by farmers across Europe. This was stated by the Minister of Agriculture of Poland Czeslaw Sekerski.

Sekerski is convinced that the European Union needs a new approach to cooperation with Ukraine, in particular, it is necessary to stop the broad trade liberalization.

The Polish minister explained that the provisions of the “green course” are not perceived among farmers, because they want to be guided by the agricultural order, not by the order of officials from Brussels.

“We need to understand the farmers’ protests, and I will strive for this at the EU Council of Ministers meeting in Brussels,” Sekerski said.

He also said that he would demand to limit the provisions of the Green Deal and postpone the implementation of a number of its provisions.
