The Confederation openly supported and supported the protest of representatives of the Polish transport industry. On Friday during the press conference, president of the National Movement, Co-Chair of the Confederacy Krzysztof Bosak informed about the strike of carriers on the Polish-Ukrainian border.
Today we are performing together with the leaders of the transport industry, with people conducting business activities, with carriers who decide to re-block the border with Ukraine from 6 November. Transporters strike is resumed due to a failure to meet manufacture expectations due to a very hard situation – Krzysztof Bosak during a press conference in the Sejm.
We remind you that there has already been a strike of carriers in March.. The main reason for the strike was the sealing of sanctions against Belarus by Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki during the Brussels summit on 23 March. Restrictions hit Poland mainly due to the fact that they prevent Polish carriers from carrying their goods east and utilizing Euro-Asian routes. pcompanies with Russian and Belarusian capital operating in Poland can operate semitrailers registered in their territory. Thus they transport goods to the Union, legally circumventing sanctions. In turn, the Belarusian government prevents the establishment of Polish plants in its country.
