"Rising Tensions: Polish Farmers' Protests Escalate into Political Clashes"

TL;DR Summary
Farmers in Poland staged their most violent protest yet, clashing with police outside the parliament as they expressed anger over EU climate policies and food imports from Ukraine. The protesters demand a withdrawal from the EU's Green Deal and the closure of the Polish-Ukrainian border to stop food imports, which they say drive down market prices and threaten Poland's agricultural sector. Prime Minister Donald Tusk, a strong supporter of the EU, has acknowledged the farmers' frustrations and plans to propose amendments to the Green Deal, while authorities express concern over anti-Ukrainian sentiments and potential Russian influence.
