The leader of the ruling Polish PiS party, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, has denounced German “domination” in Europe. Kaczynski said during a performance in southwest Poland on Saturday that Germany wants to use peaceful methods to carry out plans it once wanted to carry out through military means.
According to the Polish news agency PAP, Kaczynski said in his speech that Europe’s strength lies in the strength of its sovereign states. The party leader condemned “the situation of dominance, a situation in which one of the European states, today the largest after Russia, is carrying out plans by peaceful methods that it once wanted to carry out by military methods.”
“This road leads all of Europe to a crisis”
This is a path that leads to crisis and unhappiness – not only in Poland, but all over Europe. “And also this country, Germany,” continued Kaczynski, who is considered the main strategist of the ruling right-wing populists.
The PiS boss is touring the Polish provinces in the run-up to parliamentary elections scheduled for autumn 2023. According to the Polish opposition, the ruling party’s anti-German and Eurosceptic rhetoric is at least partly related to the election campaign.
Warsaw recently launched a diplomatic offensive to pay reparations for damage sustained during World War II. The government estimates the amount of the reparations at 1.3 trillion euros and is seeking speedy negotiations with the federal government. However, from the point of view of the federal government, there is no legal basis for Poland’s reparations claims.
Most recently, at the end of November, Warsaw rejected an offer from Germany to make the Patriot air defense system available to Poland after a missile strike. The Polish defense minister suggested transferring the equipment to Ukraine.
