On January 3, 2025, thousands of farmers will converge on Warsaw to protest EU policies affecting Polish agriculture and industry. Organized by NSZZ RI Solidarność and other farming organizations, the demonstration is a response to EU trade, climate, and agricultural policies that threaten family farms, forestry, and industry in Poland.
“5xSTOP!” Protest Theme
The protest, branded “5xSTOP!”, opposes five key issues: the Mercosur agreement, the Green Deal, Ukrainian agricultural imports, deforestation, and the erosion of Polish industry.
Marching Through Warsaw
Starting at 2 PM at the European Commission Office on Jasna Street, participants will march through major city streets, concluding at the National Theatre on Teatralny Square at 8 PM.
A Call for Solidarity
Farmers call for mass participation to challenge EU decisions. “Don’t stay indifferent, join us!” rally organizers implore, emphasizing the importance of collective action for Poland’s economic future.
