Farmers' protests: Tusk calls to protect European market by supporting Ukraine

Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk said that the EU should protect the agricultural market. He believes that in the near future there should be positive decisions for the protesting farmers. This is reported by the Wiadomosci.


Today, March 7, the Prime Minister of Poland will take part in the Congress of the European People's Party, which is being held in Bucharest. There he will discuss the problems of farmers.


He addressed the European Commissioner for Agriculture Janusz Wojciechowski and hinted at his "passivity" in resolving the problem of farmers' protests.


"I am constantly in touch with Brussels. I would really like to see this work not spoiled by anyone, because we are already close to the finish line. This is my sincere appeal, especially to Commissioner Wojciechowski, who has been quite passive during these long months, so as not to to say that he has damaged this case. It would be good if he didn't spoil anything at any stage, especially now, when we may be finalizing this work," Tusk said.


The Polish prime minister added that he would meet with farmers on Saturday and hoped to announce "something serious."


Tusk also said that in Bucharest he will raise the issue of changes that will protect European farmers. 


"We really want to help Ukraine, but at the same time we have to protect the European, Polish agricultural market," he emphasized.
