Polish farmers plan to block the border with Ukraine again in the first days of the new year

Polish farmers are threatening to block the border with Ukraine again starting from January 2-3.

This is reported by Polish media.

According to available information, one of the farming leaders demanded from the Prime Minister of Poland, Donald Tusk, a written promise that the farmers’ demands would be met.

Recall that the Poles lifted the blockade of the border crossing point on December 24 for the Christmas holidays after a meeting with the Minister of Agriculture, who promised to make concessions to them.

“Registration and passage of freight vehicles across the border towards Ukraine are carried out in the usual mode. Border guards, together with control service workers, are working to ensure the passage of the maximum number of trucks,” the State Border Guard Service said in a statement.

Recall that Polish farmers agreed to unblock the crossing point at the border with Ukraine but put forward three conditions: receiving state subsidies for the purchase of corn, maintaining the agricultural tax at the current year’s level, and extending liquidity loans.
