A group of farmers protest near the border crossing in Medyka in the Podkarpackie Voivodeship near the border with Ukraine.
This is reported by RMF24.
Protesters intend to block national road #28 two kilometers from the border with Ukraine.
Farmers started gathering on the road at 8 am. The protest is expected to last until 4:00 p.m.
According to the communique published by the Podkarpacka Oszukana Wieś organization, "the reason for the protest is the restoration of trade liberalization with Ukraine."
Yesterday, during a briefing at a railway crossing in Dorogusk (Lublin Voivodeship), the Minister of Agriculture of Poland, Robert Telus, announced that according to the EU resolution, from Tuesday, grain from contracts concluded until May 2, 2023 will no longer be unloaded in Poland.
"We came to Dorohusk to see how the new order of the European Commission came into force, which again prohibits the total import of grain into Poland, but with unloading in Poland (...). Transit will continue to function," Telus explained.
It will be recalled that on June 5, the European Union decided to extend the ban on the import of certain types of agricultural products from Ukraine for five EU members until September 15, but promised to gradually cancel it.
