Onet.pl reports.

"I will not speak with hooligans; I will speak with farmers. Those who broke the law during the demonstrations and led to incidents such as the severe injury of a police officer will be held accountable. I do not regard them as farmer-protesters; I regard them as individuals who broke the law," said Tusk.

He added that he will communicate with farmers in any case and will seek ways to resolve their issues.

  • On March 6, it was reported that Polish farmers organized a large-scale protest in Warsaw. Its participants carried anti-Ukrainian posters.
  • Later it became known that clashes broke out between police and protesting farmers in Warsaw. Near the building of the country's Sejm, farmers threw paving stones, and law enforcement officers used tear gas. There are injured and detained.
