In Krakow, Poland, on December 30, 2025, Lukasz Kmita, MP for the Law and Justice party (PiS), participates in a farmers' protest against the EU-Mercosur agreement in front of the Voivodeship Office. Across the country, farmers stage protests aimed at blocking roads and disrupting traffic, with demonstrations reported in more than 171 towns and cities. The farmers oppose the planned agreement between the European Union and Mercosur countries (including Argentina, Brazil, Uruguay, and Paraguay), arguing that it floods the European market with South American food products that do not meet EU quality standards. As a result, these cheaper imports could push higher-priced, better-quality European food off the market and drive local farmers into crisis. In Krakow, farmers use tractors to slow traffic and block crossings at pedestrian lanes in front of the Voivodeship Office.
