Polish farmers have blocked roads throughout the country and border crossings with Ukraine. They began a monthly general strike in protest against EU policy and Warsaw inaction to protect their economic situation, Reuters writes.
Farmers in Western Europe are protesting against EU green initiatives, rising costs and unfair competition from abroad. Their Polish colleagues also criticize the block, but are particularly active in the negative impact of importing cheap Ukrainian products, the agency said.
Local media reported that more than 250 congestion was organized in Poland. On the reports of reports you can see columns of tractors that cover the roads, and posters with slogans such as "without us you will be hungry, naked and sober."
The Solidarity Farmers Trade Union announced that it was planning to continue the action until March 10. The organization also stated that the "passivity of the Polish authorities" on agricultural products from Ukraine does not leave them a choice.
