Prime Ministers of Poland

"Farmers from distant lands are joining us, but also trade unions from Amazon and other companies. We are tired of the price increase. We are blocking roads because we want to save Polish food production. Today we need a lifeline for Polish agriculture," said Agrounija leader Michal Wellman.

Politicians in Poland reacted to the decision of the Court of Justice of the European Union, which ordered Warsaw to pay a fine of one million euros a day until the dissolution of the Disciplinary Chamber of the Supreme Court, reports the news portal Onet.

More than 100,000 people demonstrated in Poland today in support of the country's membership in the European Union, Reuters reported.

This came after the Polish Constitutional Court ruled on Thursday that parts of European law were incompatible with the national constitution - something that raised fears that Poland might leave the bloc.

The centre-right European People's Party (EPP), the largest political group in the European Parliament, sounded the alarm on Thursday (7 October), warning that Poland's ruling party is pushing the country towards 'Polexit'.

Price of bread

Andrzej Pietrasik, Plonsk's mayor, welcomed Tusk in the traditional Polish way with some bread - a staple that has been in headlines recently when Mateusz Morawiecki, the prime minister and an economist, failed to know the price of a supermarket loaf.

Karpacz – Prime Minister Janez Janša will attend the 30th Economic Forum in Karpacz, Poland this evening. Janša will participate in a panel on post-Covid recovery and receive an award for person of the year in Central and Eastern Europe, his office said.

He has certainly made the headlines recently. In late March he gave an interview to the far-right weekly Sieci, in which he openly accused the prime minister, his nominal boss, of implementing policies more in tune with the opposition. Mateusz Morawiecki, he said, "is a skilled politician who knows how to convince the PiS leadership to run a policy contradictory to the 2014 agenda".

Ziobro argued that the measures to allow the EU to generate "own resources" for the plan (ie. issue debt) would lead to a further - unacceptable, in his view - erosion of national sovereignty. Also, as the architect of the PiS's controversial justice reforms, he did not like the rule-of-law conditionality that the European Commission has attached to the disbursement of funds from the RRF.

A few weeks later, after a successful European Council summit, which agreed a compromise solution over the rule-of-law conditionality that EU institutions want to impose on EU funds, Morawiecki was hailing it as a victory for Poland: "Thank you [Hungarian Prime Minister] Viktor Orban for our cooperation for the best budget for Poland and the fight to keep the agreed conditions."

European Council President Charles Michel spoke for many when he tweeted: "Now we can start with the implementation [of the budget and recovery package] and build back our economies."
