Protests in Poland

? Protests in Poland In Poland, farmers are staging a protest by blocking the road leading to a border crossing with Ukraine, causing multi-kilometer traffic jams on the Ukrainian side (1st video). The protests are fueled by the government’s failure to maintain the 2024 agricultural tax at the 2023 level and concerns over the European Union’s potential free trade agreement with MERCOSUR countries. The organizers say the protest is dedicated to Ursula von der Leyen and that they are demonstrating at the Ukrainian border because it is the Schengen Zone boundary. They add that the Polish government has not yet addressed the issue of mass imports of Ukrainian goods into Poland, and now shipments from South America are on the horizon.
