Protesting Polish farmers want a referendum on forcing the country to reject the EU's Green Deal. Photo: Wojtek Radwanski / AFPThe"Down with the Green Deal" protest drew several thousands of farmers in yellow vests to downtown Warsaw, where they waved Polish flags and union banners, handed out apples and carried signs showing skulls and bones.
But it has come under fire from the fossil fuel industry and the agricultural sector, as well as from political parties on the right and far right. Some protesters also condemned Ukrainian farm imports they said were undermining their revenues, as well as the policies of Poland's current pro-EU coalition government, which came to power late last year.
Blowing horns and banging drums, the participants walked from the Polish capital's historic Castle Square to the European Commission's representation in Poland.
