This is probably the best clue to who is organising this iteration of the #Poland border blockade - Piotr Panasiuk is one of the most vicious anti-Ukrainian and pro-Russian activists in Poland, he’s literally quoting Putin on daily basis on his social media.
@kravietz perhaps. But if there's a chance that it will stop the dumping of produce that's so cheap that European farmers can't compete on the market, or that it makes them fucks in Brussels realize that they're going over the top with ridiculous regulations, who gives a fuck who's doing it? ;)
This is more complex - Poland (the government) started to enforce strict customs checks on the border to ensure compliance with the existing EU regulation. This is being done in compliance with EU-Ukraine agreement and, to be honest, should have been started long ago. The protesters however simply blocked all traffic on the border, trucks, trains, passenger buses, private cars, everything.
@kravietz well, clearly the "agreement" doesn't work for the people doing the actual farming here in the EU, especially the "no tariffs" bit, pretty sure nobody asked them to begin with, and considering that fuel and manpower make up most of the production costs and both are at least twice as expensive in the EU, the entire "agreement" is something that Brussels can shove up it's ass as far as farmers are concerned.
@m0xee
That’s correct and here I explained why I believe this iteration of the protest is no longer genuine:
