During the Tuesday press conference in the Sejm, representatives of the Confederacy and organizers of the border transport protest focused on discussing strike demands. During the gathering they besides stressed that Polish carriers are experiencing threats from Ukrainians.
The event, which took place on Tuesday, was attended by Deputy talker of the Sejm Krzysztof Bosak (Confederation, National Movement), 1 of the leaders of the strike of Polish carriers Rafał Mekler and Łukasz Białasz. Bosak pointed out that the current difficulties arise from the expansion of the Ukrainian transport manufacture into the Polish market.
“To any point, we had a balance between the Polish and Ukrainian transport industries, we had open east markets, we all drove, they all got along (...) thanks to a strategy of global arrangements, called a strategy of transport licences”, he recalled.
Deputy talker of the Sejm Krzysztof Boska straight active in the protection and assistance of protesting carriers in his speech stressed that the situation was exacerbated by the decision of the European Union, which was supported by the Polish government. As a result, “the number of Ukrainian carriers on the Polish transport marketplace has increased respective times” – he added.
“The participation of Poles in these transports fell to a fewer percent. Earlier it was about half," he pointed out.
He besides recalled that on 4 December a gathering of the European Council was planned, during which Poland intends to propose the restoration of the authorisation system.
On the another hand, Łukasz Białasz, 1 of the leaders of the carrier's protest, raised that: “One of our key demands is to reconstruct permits that will regulate the marketplace between Poland and Ukraine”. “Before the war, we had 160,000 permits. At this point, the transport of Ukrainian carriers is already around 1 million" – he added.
He besides recalled that before the escalation of the conflict, the Polish side carried out around 40% of the transport, while Ukrainian side performed about 60%. “For this minute we are doing 5% of the transport, and the Ukrainian side about 95 percent) – he alerted.
Rafał Mekler, leader of the protest of Polish guides written by terrorists from Ukraine on the black list of Ukrainian enemies Mirowiec (the site calls for executions on persons entered there), appealed for the crossing of the east border. “The Ukrainian side has created a strategy called the E-rail. It is simply a strategy that benefits Ukrainian carriers (...) due to the fact that the queue at this border now reaches up to 14 days on that side.” He pointed out that it was not about crossings blocked by Polish carriers, but only for empty vehicles.
“The difference is that the Polish carrier sits those 14 days in the car. The Ukrainian carrier sends his driver home, then the driver at home, in comfortable conditions checks how this queue runs" - he noted.
He stated that this was “obvious injustice”. He stressed that despite the blockade on the Polish side, Polish carriers must anticipate in Ukraine even twice as long as Ukrainian carriers in Poland.
Mekler noted that he was placed on the alleged Mirowiec list, a registry of units considered hostile by Ukrainians to their state.
“I am not an enemy of Ukraine” – stated, recalling that earlier Polish carriers blocked passages with Belarus, for example, erstwhile a akin situation occurred.
The politician besides referred to the arguments put forward by the Ukrainian side.
“Argument of the Ukrainian side: they have closed ports, they cannot go to Russia (...) Poland is the only window in the world” - He said. “Meanwhile, by intercession behind you we lost the Russian market, the Belarusian market, and to Kazakhstan we go through Turkey” – he added.
One writer asked the Confederate politician about the threats suffered by the participants of the border protest. Rafał Mekler responded by admitting that protesters were confronted with acts of frustration and aggression by Ukrainians. In fresh days, Mekler has reported akin cases, including on platform X.
Ukrainian media accuse Polish protesters of being linked to Russia. The portal “Guildhall” claims that the blockade of Ukraine's border may be the consequence of Russian intelligence services. These accusations, of propaganda character, are directed towards the organizers of the protest, politicians from the Confederation and the Youth of All Poland. Various Ukrainian media repeated these thesis.
The Ukrainian side suggests that the blockade prevents trucks from entering with humanitarian and military aid. Andrij Sadowy – a large flagism glorifier and a associate of the Kiev terrorist group led by Volodymyr Zelenski – accuses protesters of blocking supplies for the country, defending its independency and Europe. Polish carriers deny these accusations, stressing that aid vehicles are being passed. Polish aid organisations have besides denied this information.
On platform X annotation was added to the Sadowy entries, informing that humanitarian aid is not blocked on the Polish border, but any do not scope the army due to corruption in Ukraine.
It was noted that besides in Polish media there is simply a discredit run against the protest of carriers. any journalists, like their Ukrainian counterparts, attack protest organizers and politicians from the Confederate, claiming that “the blockade could have been avoided” and asking about the meaning of the protest after the elections and before the holidays, in the context of Ukraine's preparations for winter and Russian shellings, while Poland is awaiting the creation of a fresh government.
In another entry, Alina Makarczuk, TVN24's "journalist" – a station known for spreading Covid and Ukrainian propaganda – with strong pro-Ukrainian views, expressed concerns that the media created the impression that the blockade was a protest of all Polish carriers.
