Minister Piotr Gliński referred to Donald Tusk’s Friday statement on reparations for war. “That’s how a homeless person takes things that are very important and serious.” The reason, Mr Chairman, is that the man who asked him is a member of the Polish community. And the Polish political, cultural and national community suffered from a terrible crime from Germany, which deprived us of all the opportunities for development for many years. As a result, we have lost enormous cultural and material resources, and our future generations have lost development opportunities – stressed the head of the Ministry of Culture and National Heritage in Monday’s “Rozmowie Dnia” on TVP3 Łódź.

Deputy Prime Minister Gliński said that “because this man is Polish and, like all Poles, he is entitled to compensation from the German state, because it was Germany who attacked Poland.” Gliński argues that the United Right government was the first Polish government to approach the issue of reparations in a “professional and appropriate manner”. He added, it was preceded by scientific analysis and elaboration of reports for five years.
Tusk about repair
During Friday’s meeting with residents of Bytom, Donald Tusk was asked, among other things, for the war reparations from Germany demanded by Poland. The question was asked by a man whose ancestors, he said, were sent to hard labor. He accused PO politicians of mocking attempts at reparations. Tusk replied that he was not speaking ironically about reparations and not laughing about it, but he was laughing at the current government’s move on the matter, and his party supported the first resolution on reparations years ago. – I know that if PiS sends Mularczyk to arrange repairs, PiS knows very well that nothing will come of it – said the leader of the PO.
In discussion with the man who asked the question, Tusk expressed doubt as to why he should accept reparations at all. “You said it wasn’t even about you getting that repair.” Where will you get your repair from? – the PO leader turned to the guy. Tusk also announced that if he were to some extent in charge of the future government, the benefits would be made from Germany in the interests of the surviving Poland, a victim of German aggression during World War II. “I think it can be played and won; that’s all you need to do,” he said.
