Hungarian farmers start protest on the border with Ukraine: what they demand
Kyiv • UNN
Hungarian farmers began a protest near the border with Ukraine, blocking the import of Ukrainian agricultural products, demanding that EU rules apply to imports from non-EU countries.
Today, a protest by Hungarian farmers began near the Záhony checkpoint on the border with Ukraine. As noted by the Világgazdaság , the farmers emphasize that they will not let Ukrainian products through, UNN reports.
According to media reports, the farmers' group emphasizes that products coming from outside the European Union should also be subject to the same rules that EU farmers must follow, and Brussels should finally protect the interests of its own farmers, rather than trying to destroy the European countryside with its measures.
"The struggle with Ukraine is unequal, as they are not obliged to comply with any EU rules. But we are not involved in such a struggle," said Balázs Györgyi, president of the National Chamber of Agricultural Economics (NAK).
