UPDATE: European Farmer Protests Grow, Ukraine Border Facing BLOCKADE


The European farmer protests only continue to grow with each passing draconian proposal and globalist politician that sees the light of day.

Polish farmers are now planning on blockading the border shared with Ukraine beginning on February 9th.

According to sources, the blockade will last one full month and is reportedly in response to Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s ‘selling out’ of Polish farmers.

Tusk, who is an ardent globalist, has caused protests to erupt in the once-peaceful country of Poland due to his roundup of political opponents.

Mario Nawfal reports: “In a demonstration set for Feb 9, Polish farmers are planning to use their tractors and equipment to obstruct the Poland/Ukraine border.”

According to The Epoch Times:

The presiding officers of the farmers’ trade union “Solidarity” unanimously adopted a resolution on Wednesday announcing a general strike of farmers throughout the country, according to a union’s statement.

The strike will begin on February 9 with a blockade of all border crossings between Poland and Ukraine, along with blockades of roads and highways across the country between Feb. 9 and March 10, the trade union said in the statement on Thursday.

Zerohedge provided the latest updates on the growing farmer protests: “Meanwhile Europe’s farmer protests and strikes spilling over to Poland and Greece. Polish farmers plan general strike, blockade of Ukraine border Farmers in Greece dump apples and chestnuts in Europe’s latest agriculture protest.”

BBC News explained:

The agricultural sector has always viewed with suspicion measures brought in by the EU to revamp its €55bn (£47bn) Common Agricultural Policy (CAP) and make it more sustainable.

More than 70% of that money is spent on direct payments to farmers as a safety net.

The revamp includes an obligation to devote at least 4% of arable land to non-productive features, as well as a requirement to carry out crop rotations and reduce fertiliser use by at least 20%.
