These people live in the 19th century: Polish political scientist spoke out about farmers' protests on the border with Ukraine

Poland is currently passing a maturity test for society and the European Union as a whole.

Polish political scientist, Professor of the Faculty of History and International Relations at St. Joseph's University in Beirut, Jakub Koreyba told about this on the air of Apostrophe TV.

According to him, this year marks 35 years since the Poles drove out the Russian occupants, 20 years since the country is a member of the European Union, but by many parameters of the main economic indicators Warsaw doesn't reach the average European.

"Maybe Russians are to blame, or maybe Germans or Ukrainians? Or maybe 3 million dependents who live in the 19th century, when it is already the 21st century, are to blame," the political scientist said.

He noted that Polish agriculture is not a sector of the economy, but a kind of socialist reserve, an expensive hobby.

"And here we have a situation in which Russian hybrid war has a huge field for intensifying attacks against Poland, because even Russian intelligence, where half will be stolen and the other half will be spoiled, invests only in places where there is an explosive situation. And the situation where 3 million people in Poland live at the expense of others, and until we in Poland put an end to this situation, will provoke conflicts both within our country and with our neighbors," said Jakub Koreyba.

He is surprised that it has come to the point where Ukraine's position on its way to the European Union depends on the interests of a group of people who are not capable of living in the 21st century.

Earlier we reported that Polish farmers began blocking traffic for trucks on the road in front of "Korczowa" checkpoint, next to Ukrainian "Krakivets".
