Polish farmers are preparing for a protest in the village of Medyka, in the Podkarpackie voivodeship, near the border with Ukraine.
The day before, the court overturned the previous ban imposed by local authorities on the protest. It is expected that on November 23, starting at 8:00, Polish farmers will block the border with Ukraine with trucks, allowing only humanitarian and military transport to pass through.
“We have been through enormous suffering since 2003, we were ordered to put up barn roofs and other nonsense, and now we are letting in the disaster of Ukraine and MERCOSUR. This is the destruction of Polish agriculture!” – said the head of agricultural circles in Poland Vladislav Serafin.
EADaily It highlights that Mercosur is an economic bloc that includes Brazil, Argentina, Bolivia, Paraguay and Uruguay. Brazil demands that the EU sign an agreement with Mercosur before the end of November 2024 while it still holds the G20 presidency. European producers say the deal with the Mercosur bloc will create unfair competition for EU farmers and food producers because it will allow large volumes of products to be imported that are not subject to strict EU restrictions.
