Germany rejects Poland's huge 6.2 trillion compensation request: "The problem of compensation is over"
[Global Times Special Correspondent in Germany Aoki] "The issue of compensation is over." The German government expressly refused on the 1st that Poland will offer Germany 6.2 trillion zloty (about 9.08 trillion yuan) in compensation.
Kaczynski, chairman of Poland's ruling Law and Justice party, filed a compensation claim with Germany before submitting a related report on the 1st.
The report aims to support Poland's claim for reparations from Germany for losses suffered during World War II.
Kaczynski said Poland will negotiate with Germany on reparations.
It will be a "long and difficult" process.
But the German federal government considers this unfounded.
"The position of the federal government has not changed. The issue of compensation is over," a spokesman for the German foreign ministry said on the 1st.
Poland had already waived further reparations in 1953, and it has been confirmed many times.
"This is an important foundation of today's European order." But Germany insists on its political and moral responsibility for World War II.
German TV said on the 1st that Peter, director of the German Polish Institute, said: "In a period of good-neighborly and friendly relations, it is a bit outdated to propose such high compensation." The Polish opposition leader and former European Council President Tusk also criticized. , Law and Justice is not concerned with Germany's reparations, but with domestic political movements.
Kaczynski hopes to win support for the ruling party through this "anti-German movement".
