A press conference in the Sejm attended by representatives of the Carrier Strike.
Krzysztof Bosak:
– present we are performing together with the leaders of the transport industry, with people conducting economical activity. With carriers that decide on November 6 again start blocking the border with Ukraine. The Carrier Strike is resumed due to the failure to meet manufacture expectations. Because of a very hard situation. present we have representatives of various companies. I give the level to 1 of the leaders of the Confederation in Lublin and 1 of the leaders of the Transporter Strike and transport manufacture to Rafał Mekler.
Rafał Mekler:
– This isn't the first time we've been here. This is not the first protest either. It's been over a year since the last protest. Last September my colleagues protested on the Polish-Ukrainian border. Why did they protest? They protested due to the fact that in March we will have a year from the protest we made in Warsaw. We drove over 300. Warsaw tractor saddles in protest against companies with east capital that destruct our market. Against unfair competition from the East.
These protests appear in these months' intervals. We were getting assurances from the government, ideas to solve this situation. any things have indeed been accomplished. In my opinion, the inclusion of the SENT strategy is simply a large success. Since the manufacture fought for this for many years, we managed to do so in a fewer months.
– Polish carriers, but we besides have farmers, representatives of the processing industry. All these people are affected by this messianic east PiS policy, which unfortunately returns the last shirt at our expense.. We agree to that. As a Confederate, we are always defending Polish carriers, defending Polish farmers. Whenever there's a protest on the border, as there are agricultural protests, there are Confederate representatives there.
Tomasz Borkowski (carrier):
– We want to reintroduce commercial permits for Ukrainian companies, due to the fact that the increase in their transport to Poland increased 7.5 times. In 2021, before the outbreak of the war, Poland made available 160 1000 permits to the Ukrainian side. In this year by September, Ukrainian companies carried out 880 1000 transports across Polish borders. By the end of the year, there will most likely be 1.2 million freight. So that we want to defend our own market. And we want commercial permits to carry things back, excluding humanitarian aid and supplies to the Ukrainian army.
