On Wednesday (5.04.2023), associate Krzysztof Bosak presented at a press conference in the Sejm the position of the Confederation on the visit of the president of Ukraine Volodymyr Zelenski to Warsaw. – The talks of Polish politicians representing the state, specified as the president or the government, should be an chance to express that in economical relations with Ukraine Poland besides has its interests and expects these interests to be respected – he said.
Bosak stressed that aid to Ukraine must not take place in a way that strikes Polish farmers or carriers. Duty-free import of food products from Ukraine threatens Polish agriculture, and the Polish transport manufacture falls due to unfair competition of carriers from the east border.
– It cannot be that individual who has much lower costs floods our marketplace with products, and we say, “There is simply a war, so it is difficult, in fact, let our farmers go bankrupt, let our egg producers go bankrupt, let our broiler farmers go bankrupt, there is war, and so all this matters.” No! No! It matters! said the Confederate Member.
Bosak stressed that despite the tremendous support Poland has given and continues to supply Ukraine, no 1 in the European Union has lifted any burdens on Polish transport or on Polish agriculture. – On the contrary, this regulatory loop is increasingly tightening, specified as the Green Deal, FitFor55, climate policy, rising energy prices Bosak pointed out. – This vise is tightening increasingly around the neck of Polish producers, while the government does not share Polish economical interests – he added.
Bosak recalled that the Confederation, as the only political force, said after the outbreak of the war in Ukraine that Poland has its interests in both economical and political relations with Ukraine. – It is not that Poland is to be only an ambassador of Ukraine in global relations. No! No! Ukraine has its embassy network and Poland is to represent the interests of Polish society. Of course, he can support Ukraine in any matters, but within the limits of the capabilities of the Polish state, Polish society and Polish economyand – stressed the Confederate Member.
