Polish farmers pelt EU office with eggs

Polish farmers burnt tyres on the steps of the regional government office and pelted the European Commission office with eggs in the western city of Wroclaw on Thursday (February 15), as they protested against the EU Green Deal.

Farmers across Europe are protesting against constraints placed on them by EU measures to tackle climate change, as well as rising costs and what they say is unfair competition from abroad, particularly Ukraine.

According to organisers there were around 1,000 protesters and 500 tractors and other farm vehicles at the demonstration.

EU is squeezing them with green deal and at the same time tries to import from countries that do not face the same stringent production regulations. That’s robbery not free market
