On Monday, President Karol Nawrocki signed ten new laws, among which a highlighted one was the act on protecting Polish land. This legislation, initiated within four days of his presidency during a farmers' meeting in the West Pomerania region, prohibits the sale of Polish land to foreign entities for a decade. The act received overwhelming support from Parliament, emphasizing a protective stance for domestic agriculture amidst external market threats.

Nawrocki articulated concerns about significant threats facing Polish rural areas, citing the repercussions of the Mercosur trade agreement, the uncontrolled influx of agricultural goods from Ukraine, and the demands of the Green Deal. He underlined that the Polish state must support its farmers, who are considered the foundation of national food security. The law aims to mitigate these risks by preventing foreign acquisition of agricultural land, thus safeguarding local agricultural interests and ensuring the resilience of the Polish farming sector.

Despite this legislative measure, Nawrocki acknowledged the need for ongoing support and protection for farmers in the future. He noted that while this law is a step in the right direction, additional assistance will be crucial in enabling Polish agriculture to thrive in the face of both domestic and international challenges. The law signifies a governmental commitment to prioritize local farmers' interests while navigating the complexities of global agricultural economics.
