Loading ...Polish Farmers To Block Critical Border Road As Tusk Government Faces First Serious Challenge
Protesters will block the main A2 highway from Warsaw to Berlin on Sunday for 24 hours
According to Dariusz Wrobel, a spokesman for the farmers’ protest movement, the EU’s so-called Green Deal on energy, transportation and taxation in a bid to reduce greenhouse emissions “is unacceptable in its current form.”
The farmers also oppose imports of agriculture products from countries outside the EU “that do not conform to European norms”, Wrobel said.
The highway protest at the German border would start at 1200 GMT on Sunday and would be just a warning.
“We expect results and we are ready to launch a much wider movement,” Wrobel said.
The farmers had planned a 25-day blockade but reduced it after talks with local authorities and business leaders. -TRTWorld
