Poland's farmers clash with police, demand end to Green Deal & Ukraine's imports, PM Tusk refuses talks with 'hooligans'

After farmers clash with police, Polish premier says no talks with 'hooligans' Donald Tusk says he is ready to talk with 'real' farmers but not 'hooligans' following clashes in Warsaw

Poland's prime minister said he will talk with farmers, but not those that commit violence, after major clashes in the capital Warsaw on Wednesday, local media reported.

"There were also people who committed acts of violence against security services for political reasons.

Comment: He, like the other political puppets in Europe, is probably attempting to, in a sly way, imply the involvement of the 'far-right'.

An unpleasant and dramatic course of events, but quite typical," said Donald Tusk. "I will not talk to hooligans, I will only talk to farmers."

On Wednesday, protesters hurled stones at police and pushed through barriers around parliament, injuring several officers, police said.

Comment: Footage:

Farmers - demanding a withdrawal from the EU's Green Deal and curbs on Ukrainian grain imports - also blocked highways into Warsaw, and supporters gathered in front of the prime minister's office before marching on parliament. Some trampled an EU flag. The farmers were joined by miners, foresters, and hunters.

Police said they had detained over a dozen people. Interior Minister Marcin Kierwinski said on X that 23 people had been detained.

Michal Kolodziejczak, the deputy agriculture minister, said on Wednesday it was necessary to isolate "provocateurs and troublemakers."

Tusk has said the farmers' demands were justified and that he plans to propose amendments to the EU's Green Deal. He announced Wednesday that he had invited the farmers' leaders for a follow-up meeting this Saturday, but added that he had not agreed to negotiations.

"I don't want to go into details, but I'm very concerned about it. I want to deliver what is possible with the Green Deal. I think that on Saturday I will have something serious to announce to farmers," Tusk told a press conference in Warsaw before leaving for a meeting in Bucharest, Romania.v

The only Hooligans I see are the Government.

The situation is that the farmers protested peacefully, but groups of people who were not farmers appeared and deliberately heated the atmosphere.

When I have the footage, I will share it here.

Now farmers are blocking roads around Warsaw.

Interesting thing. Mr. Tusk told the conference that Mr. Wojciechowski (a Pole elected under the previous government), who is currently the EU Commissioner for Agriculture... "doesn't screw up the job"

To this, Commissioner Wojciechowski replied to him in an official letter, which I quote:

"Janusz Wojciechowski

European Union Commissioner for Agriculture Due to the appeal addressed to me by Prime Minister Donald Tusk, calling on me to be de facto passive in the work on changes in the Common Agricultural Policy beneficial to farmers, I declare that I do not accept this appeal and the instructions contained therein.

It is unacceptable and contrary to Article 17 of the Treaty. 3 that the Prime Minister of the government of a Member State provides instructions and instructions to a member of the European Commission.

It would be a better thing if, instead of instructions, the Prime Minister presented specific proposals for changes, which he has not done so far .

Currently, I am working intensively and will continue to work, together with the Directorate General for Agriculture subordinate to me, on the draft of legislative changes in the regulations regarding the Common Agricultural Policy, changes to meet the demands of farmers protesting in Poland and other countries. I presented the directional proposals for these changes on February 26, 2024 at the meeting of the Council of Ministers for Agriculture AGRIFISH and I obtained a positive opinion and preliminary approval of the Council."

It was a police provocation.

the reaction of Mr Tusk has WEF written all overt it, I think.

I other words, Tusk will talk with farmers who think that by being agreeable they'll gain something at the expense of all others.

KRNABRNY · 2024-03-08T05:06:13Z

Demore No, Mr. Tusk will not talk to farmers at all, only to people he chooses.

Which he has already done before.
