Ukrainian Grain Imports Spark Political Turmoil in Poland.

Polish Agriculture Minister Henryk Kowalczyk resigned amid farmers' protests over Ukrainian grain imports, as the European Commission refused to reimpose tariffs and duties on Ukrainian produce. The protests threaten to shake the bedrock of the right-wing government’s traditional rural support ahead of a general election this fall. Kowalczyk will be replaced by Robert Telus, who chairs the Polish parliament's agriculture committee.
