German Foreign Minister says Berlin is not going to pay reparations to Poland

The German authorities reacted to a document signed in Warsaw, on the basis of which Poland demands that official Berlin pay more than 1,3 billion euros in reparations for the years of Nazi occupation during the Second World War. Recall that recently the demand for reparations to Germany was officially announced by the head of the Polish Foreign Ministry Zbigniew Rau.

The reaction of the German authorities was not long in coming. German Foreign Minister Annalena Burbock said that Germany is not going to pay any reparations to Poland.



Burbock during a joint press conference with Rau:

The issue of reparations has been closed for us for a long time. This topic is not even discussed by us.

Thus, Burbock actually repeated the earlier statement by the head of the German government, Olaf Scholz, that “Germany has already made all payments following the results of the Second World War, including compensation and reparations, and therefore is not going to pay anything else.”
However, Poland is clearly not going to ease the level of political and economic pressure on Germany. But what is all this about?

The fact is that Germany is the largest creditor of the Polish economy. And for some time now, Poland has had to make increasingly large payments as part of repaying loans. In the Polish government, with their constant insinuations about reparations, they are trying at least to bring Germany to the issue of another debt restructuring with a typical "small-town" message in the style: "And you owe us even more." So far, the German elites remain adamant in this regard, but after the explosion of the Nord Stream gas pipelines, Poland has an additional instrument of pressure on Germany, because it is Poland that is now becoming the main recipient of pipeline gas in the north-east of Europe (from Norway), and Germany finds itself in a situation , which can lead this country to at least industrial degradation. In this regard, Poland's demands are reminiscent of a kind of blackmail from Berlin.

      The Poles will not stop. They have gas, and they will be even worse than Ukrainians to whine about discounts.
      In this they are the same with Svidomo.

          It is strange that this pipe also "accidentally" did not explode, following our gas pipelines. She just has to explode. As well as transatlantic fiber optic lines.

        Germany is going to be robbed again

        —- The Germans surprised more than once. This is an organized, collected nation that has surprised the world more than once. And do not talk about two world wars. Underestimating them is more expensive. Their military spirit - has changed, like the samurai - among the Japanese. This is a competent, businesslike people of professionals, not amateurs.

        —-They took in 2 million immigrants in 2015, and didn't choke. No need for violence against German women. Germany is the backbone of Europe.

        And they will overcome the gas crisis. Adapt. Yes, there will be problems with industry and heating, but this is the nation of Bismarck, and not just Goethe. And industry will not be withdrawn from Germany.

        — By the way, the Poles demand 1.3 TRILLION, not a billion. The article was wrong by three orders of magnitude.
