Polish farmers demand a return to the Russian market

9
Several thousand Polish farmers gathered for a protest near the presidential palace in Warsaw. They demand the resumption of trade with Russia and the introduction of restrictions on the import of products from Western Europe.



This was reported by the Warsaw correspondent of the news agency. RIA News.

The assembled farmers express extreme dissatisfaction with the withdrawal from the Russian market. In addition, they require the government to pay a number of compensations, strengthen state control over import of agricultural products and increase purchase prices.

Resented by the closure of the Russian market, farmers say that “they ruined everything policy”, Meaning by these words the introduction of anti-Russian sanctions and retaliatory measures of Moscow. They say that other countries are buying quality Polish products and reselling them to Russia. At the same time, they receive the main profit, not the Poles.

One of the protesters said the following:

When the Russian market was opened, I could buy a new tractor from three hectares of potatoes, and now this is unrealistic.


But not only is Russian consumer inaccessible to Polish farmers. In the domestic market, one has to compete with Western products, which poured into Poland in an endless stream. On one of the posters they wrote:

Close us from German meat!


The protesters brought a coffin to the president’s palace, which symbolizes Polish agriculture, which is dying due to the wrong policy of the government, infringing on local producers for the sake of foreign interests.

    It’s strange, but Poroshenko, Bandera’s and neo-Nazis of Ukraine aspire to the EU and NATO, they even want to introduce this postulate into the Constitution of the country. Despite the frenzied Western propaganda and Russophobia, the Poles have already realized that they do not need a policy of the authorities that causes them huge damage and has nothing to do with their interests.

    You gentlemen, Polish peasants, workers and others, have forgotten to ask us, but why the hell are you all surrendering to us here? Our peasants, even with ten hectares, will buy a tractor, but for themselves. Do you want to play some kind of good surplus value to us !? Personally, even before all these sanctions, the production of the Baltic states and Poles did not take fundamentally. The axiom is clear to me - I bought a can of Latvian sprats - I helped an SS veteran, I bought a kilogram of Polish apples - I paid a pension to Pilsudski’s associate.

    Amazed at their arrogance. request Poland is most yapping at mother Russia. They want to please the owners and are immediately asked to return to Russia. I believe that since you are bending under the Americans, go there and sell your products.

    But what about the WTO rules? How can you close the Polish market from Western products?
    But I remembered another "politician" of our time. Who loudly declares that he will make the country "a great agrarian power". Truly - whom the Lord wants to punish, he deprives him of reason ...

    The peasants still do not understand that no one is waiting for them here. They would look at the Tribaltic transit or gas transit through 404, maybe they would understand that it was time to hang themselves.

      Well, they squeezed the peasants like that, not breathing, not ..., that's a rally. They are still far from France, but if their government does not scratch themselves, then they will arrange a fun life in Warsaw.
