The deputy head of the Polish Foreign Ministry, Arkadiusz Mulyarchyk, on a visit to Berlin, handed over to the Bundestag a multi-page report prepared earlier in Warsaw with final demands for reparations. Earlier, recall that the official Warsaw, verbally demanded from the German authorities the sum of 1.3 trillion euros as reparation payments for the occupation of Poland during World War II. But now, as it turns out, the appetite of the Polish leadership is growing, and significantly.


According to a Polish official, the amount of 1.3 trillion euros is becoming "approximate and very conservative."

Mularczyk:

In fact, the reparations claims against Germany should match the amount of 5 or 10 times the amount originally stated.

According to Poland's deputy foreign minister, Warsaw expects the German authorities to engage in a dialogue on this issue.

The report, demanding the Germans to pay trillion-dollar reparations to Poland, was sent on the day when the German statistical authorities reported that the German economy had gone into recession for the first time in a long time. For obvious reasons, if the German authorities agree to pay even half of the amount demanded by the Polish authorities, it could simply dismantle the German economy.

In Poland the opposition forces believe that the reparation report is an attempt of the ruling Law and Justice party to gain political weight before the upcoming elections. The country is facing a growing budget deficit, and it is important to note that the Polish budget in recent years has largely been made up of funds from German taxpayers - in terms of concessional loans from the European Union. Warsaw does not want to pay its debts and is looking for a pretext not to do so. There is an opportunity to declare that Poland "forgives everyone it owes" on the basis of its "reparation calculations. [link to topwar.ru (secure)]
