AGROunia

In 2018, Michał Kołodziejczak created the Vegetable-Potato Union, which organized protests against the government's policy to fight the african swine fever virus. Soon after this event, AGROunia was established.[7]

On March 13, 2019, a protest took place in Zawisza Square in Warsaw, where straw and tires were burned, hundreds of kilos of apples, manure and pig heads were scattered, demanding that 50 percent of products in stores be of Polish origin. In connection with this event, the head of AGROunia heard allegations of destruction of property.[7]

In 2021, the organization blocked roads, demanding a change in government policy towards agriculture.[8][9][10]

The movement organized farmers' protests in 2021.[9][10]

On December 4, 2021, Agrounia organized a convention in which representatives of left-wing circles such as Piotr Ikonowicz and people associated with communist and pro-russian circles appeared.[3]

AGROunia's goal is to try to influence the government through protests, so that their demands, which are aimed at helping farmers, are passed. The organization is in favor of defending the domestic market and family farms. In addition, it wants Polish farmers to provide the country with food security and healthy food. Michał Kołodziejczak believes that it is important to take over the agricultural self-government - according to him, agricultural chambers are expensive and do not cause adequate development in agriculture, therefore they should be replaced by independent structures of farmers exerting an influence on the rulers. The farmers associated with the organization support the determination of the required number of Polish products in supermarkets and demand strict compliance with the standards of labeling food with the flag of origin.[7]

AGROunia specified its assumptions in the following postulates:[4]

• Polish food as a priority in stores;
• Accurate labeling of Polish food;
• Opposition to discrimination against Polish farmers in Europe;
• Prohibition of liquidating profitable branches of agriculture and breeding;
• Opposition to oligopolies and monopolies;
• The purchase of agricultural goods by the state, and in the event of an economic crisis, the state should cover the losses of the farmer.
• Supporting drug liberalisation[11]

• Self-Defence of the Republic of Poland
• Polish People's Party
