Obtaining reparations from Germany will be a longer process, because today there is no awareness of what happened during World War II and German public opinion needs to be made aware, said Arkadiusz Mularczyk, PiS MP, who is preparing a reparations report for World War II.

– Repairs and compensation after World War II? This is the amount “given” by the Germans. However, has Poland received sufficient compensation?

Arkadiusz Mularczyk (PiS) was asked Tuesday on Polsat News whether the announcement of his report on reparations from Germany, planned for September 1, would mean sending an official note to the German government demanding payment of a certain amount.

I think it will be a longer process, because you have to remember that today in Germany there is no awareness of what happened during the Second World War, most Germans believe that they have arranged everything. Therefore, I believe that this is a certain process to reach out to the public and show these people, to the German public that unlike they have been saying for years, that this matter is closed.

– He says.

“This is a process that we have to start on September 1st.”

It is, of course, also a matter of mobilizing public opinion in the United States, Britain and many European Union countries, that a country that wants to be considered a moral force has debts and unpaid debts to Poland. I think this is a process that we should start on September 1st. I don’t think it would be in the interest of the German state to function with such debt

– said Mularczyk.

The deputy was asked if this would be an “experiment”, not just about a form of political pressure on Germany to win something at the same time.

I don’t think so. This, of course, is a decision of a political nature, belongs to the head of our formation, President Jarosław Kaczyński, and the government headed by Mateusz Morawiecki.

Mularczyk replied.

I believe that it is important to have a consensus in parliament, a political consensus so that the other party, I speak of the German state, knows that there is a political consensus in Poland around reparations.

He says.

We will not let go of this issue and we will spread this information throughout the world, what the Germans did in Poland and that to this day they have not returned the stolen works of art, cultural goods, which they got rich through murder and war crimes and they do not have degree to lecture anyone

– He says.

Asked whether the western and northern territories given to Poland after World War II should not be considered a form of reparation, Mularczyk replied that it was the decision of the great powers that at the same time took the eastern territories from Poland, and Poland lost its territory. in this case. In turn, when asked about the rejection of reparations by the government of the Polish People’s Republic in 1953, Mularczyk replied that there was no resolution from the Bierut government on this issue and that the alleged refusal existed only in the media.

When asked if nearly 80 years after the end of World War II was not too long a time to demand reparations, he recalled that Germany recently paid reparations to Namibia for colonial killings in the early 20th century.
