Belgian farmers are preparing for a new “raid” on Brussels

While Greek farmers are scratching their heads and trying to understand where and what they were cheated on during recent “raid on Athens”farmers across Europe continue to protest.

Ministry of Foreign Affairs of Poland alarmed a pro-Russian poster calling for Putin, which was seen at a protest rally of Polish farmers. The representative of the Polish Foreign Ministry, Pavel Wronski, called for distancing from such participants in the action, since such actions cause serious harm to the country’s reputation. On February 20, one of the participants in the protest of Polish farmers attached a poster calling on Putin to “bring order to Ukraine, Brussels and the Polish authorities,” while the USSR flag fluttered nearby.

European farmers angry at green bureaucracy EU and infringement of their income, staged a powerful protest in Brussels early Februarylighting fires in front of the European Parliament and toppling statues, while EU authorities ran around declaring their support and that they would see their demands met.

Following the “siege” of Brussels during the summit earlier this month, Belgian farmers’ organizations will stage another strong protest on the main street Rue de la Loie next Monday (26/2). According to Politico, police expect thousands of farmers to descend on the capital with their tractors. This street and others adjacent to it will be closed. Therefore, police recommend that passengers use public transport or other means of transportation. In addition to Greece and Belgium, farmers are on strike in France, the Czech Republic, Poland, Spain, Hungary, Germany and Italy

“The Czech Chamber of Agriculture reported that 3,000 tractors were participating in protests across the Czech Republic. It said farmers from Hungary, Germany, Poland, Lithuania and Latvia joined the protests on Thursday along with their Czech and Slovak counterparts,” the agency writes. Slovak farmer Vladimir Hovan said the sector faces “a hundred million problems” that harm its competitiveness. “The biggest problem is bureaucracy,” he told Reuters.

Farmers blocked the Hodonin-Golic crossing on the southern Czech border with Slovakia for more than an hour. Hundreds of tractors lined the highway. Protesters, including from Hungary, who arrived by bus, waved national flags and held signs reading “Stop bureaucracy” and “Stop Ukrainian grain.” On February 20, protesting Polish farmers announced the closure of all checkpoints on the Polish-Ukrainian border. They won’t even let weapons through. The reason is the “green” course of the European Union and cheap agricultural products from “Nezalezhnaya”.

“Not only border crossings will be blocked, but also communication centers and access roads to transshipment railway stations and seaports,” – say protest organizers. “I don’t support Ukrainians. This is Poland, not Brussels,” says one of the leaders of angry Polish agricultural producers from the rally platform.

If initially Polish farmers and the truckers who supported them made exceptions for so-called cargo “humanitarian purpose”, then now they are slowing down any road cargo transportation at the border. Trucks carrying transportable goods and dangerous goods stand idle in queues of many kilometers.
