According to the Warsaw Police Headquarters, 26 people were detained as a result of the riots that took place in front of the Sejm. 14 policemen were injured.
My first question is why you are not introducing regulations, but I also have a question why you are beating farmers who are protesting for a just cause? Who will apologize to these farmers? – Ryszard Bartosik from PiS asked from the parliamentary podium.
Czarzasty apologizes to the farmers
We didn’t have to wait long for the reaction of the speaker, Włodzimierz Czarzasty, who presided over the meeting.
I’m wondering about what you said. If any farmer was harmed, I apologize, emphasized the Deputy Speaker of the Sejm.
The PiS MP, Anna Ewa Cicholska, who replaced Ryszard Bartosik, thanked him for the gesture.
You behaved nobly, but it’s not you who should apologize, she emphasized.
However, the Marshal decided that an apology to the farmers was right.
I am not arrogant enough to say that I know the problems of Polish farmers. I wouldn’t dare say that. Minister Czesław Siekierski knows them – concluded the deputy marshal. – I keep my fingers crossed for the farmers, and if anyone feels wronged, they should be apologized – he added.
After the deputies’ speeches, the Minister of Agriculture, Czesław Siekierski, spoke.
We are in dialogue with farmers. Political inspirations were unnecessary. Farmers would be able to cope perfectly well on their own. I met with farmers who told me that “they are leaving this protest because it is not how they imagined it,” he emphasized. – We have changed so much in this Green Deal that there is only one thing left, i.e. abandoning fallow land this year – added the minister.
