Rafał Mekler, associate of the National Movement, in a speech at a farmers protest, on 3 January 2025.
Hello! I'm here due to the fact that with these people here, with farmers as a carrier, as a transport carrier we stood over 2 months on the Ukrainian border. In the cold, in the snow, in the sun, in the cold. We stood by the national interest, the Polish national interest.
We defended the fact that Ukrainian grain, Ukrainian trucks, which besides spoil our market, should not enter Poland. We stood across the interests of Ukrainian and Brussels oligarchy. And today, the same Brussels oligarchy comes to us and sells us its programs! ETS, ETS 2 for transport, ETS 3 for agriculture! We hear about the Green Order, we hear about the Blue Order. The water in your well will not be yours, it will be Brussels! This cannot be the case, ladies and gentlemen.
I'm going very I am glad that we are in WarsawYou know why? due to the fact that let's go back 80 years now. In the war, what would happen to the Warsawers if it wasn't for the village? They'd die of starvation! Now we hear about food security, economical security. What would happen present erstwhile there are no pigs in the country, no cows in the country, and the chickens are recorded? What would happen to the inhabitants of Warsaw, ladies and gentlemen? They'd die of starvation! They'd die of starvation! Food security, and that is the ability of the Polish village to feed the Polish people, is simply a vital issue!
@MeklerRafal au #Protest of Farmers: As a carrier, as a carrier, I am here due to the fact that my farmers and I stood 2 months on the border! In the cold, snow, we were guarding the Polish National Business
We defended this, so that Ukrainian grain would not enter Poland... pic.twitter.com/kNMFSojnlQ
Ladies and gentlemen, Brusselsers are coming and they think they're bringing us something new. They make these plans, they tell us how large it will be to run companies according to their guidelines, how we will grow crops according to their guidelines, how we will grow animals according to their guidelines. And you know what that is? This is something we Poles know. This is simply a planned economy, this is communism!
Ladies and gentlemen, these are utopians. I say they're utopians due to the fact that they're people who are trying to plan their sick visions for us. Cameras from advanced concrete buildings in Brussels are trying to explain to us what we gotta do in Poland, in my home Lublin! That's not right. That's not right.
These are the utopians who are trying to tell us things separated from reality.. Imagine now that Ursula “von der Liar”, I deliberately say Liar, is going to Kuwait, for example, and the Arabs are saying, “Look, you cannot usage oil.” That's absurd, isn't it? You're laughing. What did they do to us? They came and said the coal we have under our feet for many years forward, we can't usage it! We're expected to be freezing due to the fact that that's what they want. They told us that the worms they invented for us as food are better than pork. That's not right. That's not right. A Pole has the right to feed on what he wants. No 1 has the right to impose anything on us. Hundreds of years, hundreds of years of blood shed by our ancestors – we cannot betray.
@MeklerRafal at the farmers protest in Warsaw: We as carriers are besides affected by all the solutions implemented by the European Union!
That's why we're here, we're against the ETS, we're against ETS 2, we're against the whole... pic.twitter.com/3NLl2YSF5G
There's 1 another crazy crucial thing. Do you know what 3 social strata were in past that were rebelling? They were townspeople – present there are no townspeople. These are jars from Warsaw who are ashamed of their Catholic, conservative origin, who vote for liberal politicians here. There are no townspeople!
The second layer, ladies and gentlemen, are workers. Only that the left workers – their “ambassador”, in quotes of course – sold. She sold them to corporations. And today, no 1 is behind the workers, so the workers don't even go out on the street. And you know what's the last social layer that's rebelling? That's you! They're peasants! You know why that is?
You know why that is? due to the fact that a peasant is simply a man who goes out of the barn into a field and his father, his grandpa and great-grandfather went out into the same field. The peasant is simply a man who takes a lump of land into his hand and he knows the weight of the land. This is the man who takes a blade of rye, rubs between his hands and is aware of the value of this bread. The man is simply a man who is organically a patriot. You can't be a peasant, a farmer and not a patriot! And now the full point is to deprive you of the land to deprive you of your sovereignty, and they will do so by taking distant your right to cultivate the land. Don't give yourself the right to take the land! Thank you.
