“Poland owes Germany something. She owes the Germans an apology for all the insults and slanders that have appeared in the public media in recent years,” said Michał Bilewicz, a researcher at the University of Warsaw, a social psychologist from the Faculty of Psychology of the University of Warsaw and head of the Center for Prejudice Research, in a Twitter post.
A clear position Together on reparations
Bilewicz, who until recently argued that Poland had a “long history of occupation of Ukraine”, now stated that Poland should offer its “apologies” to Germany. An employee of the University of Warsaw referred to the position of the Together party on the words of MP Paulina Matysiak.
Recall that Matysiak said on Polish Radio 24 that in the case of reparations, Poland will raise the issue of confiscated property from the so-called Recovered Territories.
If PiS is to openly discuss the subject of reparation to Poland for the injustices they suffered during World War II, then it should also be open to a fair settlement and settlement of the issue of property owned by Poles in seized by the so-called Recovered Territories
– said Paulina Matysiak. The MP eventually apologized for her words, stressing that “there is no doubt that Poland and its inhabitants suffered great damage during World War II at the hands of Nazi Germany and the Soviet Union. These abuses have never been repaired and the damage never recovered.”

The Samen party presented its position on the issue of reparations on Twitter.
The position of the Together party is clear: Poland deserves reparations. Poland owes Germany nothing
– emphasized.
Bilewicz: Poland must apologize to Germany
However, an employee of the University of Warsaw, Michał Bilewicz, has a very different opinion on this issue and he argued that Poland should apologize to Germany.
I do not agree with it. Poland owes Germany something. She owes Germany an apology for all the insults and slanders that have appeared in the public media in recent years. For notorious insult to the flag of the Federal Republic of Germany and for discrimination against the German minority
Bilewicz argued.
It doesn’t stop there. According to an employee of the University of Warsaw, it will also be one of the elements of this year’s parliamentary elections.
That’s what these elections are about. About our relations with our neighbours. Do we want to build a Europe based on democratic values and openness, or rather entrench ourselves in nationalism and harbor historical grudges. Perhaps it is worth recalling the contents of the 1965 letter of Polish bishops?
Bilewicz wrote.
Like from Poland, will Bilewicz also demand apologies from Germany, for example for Nord Stream, for doing business with Russia that is harmful to Poland and the entire EU? Or should Bilewicz, like Donald Tusk, also read the report on Poland’s war losses?
