The Polish ambassador in Berlin, Dariusz Pawłoś, received “an answer to the scandalous passage that we informed about a week ago,” the Consulate General of the Republic of Poland in Munich tweeted. It is about the content of the education program that harms Poland’s good name. The representative of the German agency expressed his regret.
Ambassador Pawało got an answer to the scandalous passage we reported a week ago. Mrs. Kerstin Claus legibly wrote: ‘I regret the damage he has caused you and your compatriots’. Let’s take care of Poland!” – we read in the entrance to the consulate.
The consulate also posted an excerpt from a letter from the Independent Commissioner on Child Sexual Abuse (UBSKM) Kerstin Claus, in which we read: “Thank you for your critical opinion of the excerpt from the online training ‘Was ist los mit Jaron?’ and I express my regret for the harm he has caused you and your countrymen.
At the beginning of the week, Ambassador Pawłoś told PAP that the Polish Embassy in Berlin “is shocked by the contents of the educational program for German youths who have problems because of their sexual orientation, published on the website: ‘Was ist los mit Jarón?’ “. The content that appeared on the website of the Independent Commissioner for Sexual Abuse of Children (UBSKM), an agency subordinate to the federal government, is unacceptable from the point of view of the Polish embassy, as it tarnishes the good name of Polish society. “
The diplomat decided it was dangerous “to introduce into the minds of German youths the belief that the Catholic faith is based on hatred, and therefore it is something bad”. On the page of the guide, which has been approved by the education authorities of the German states, we read that a Polish mother, a religious Catholic, hates gays and will reject her child because of homosexuality.
I’m afraid this absurd statement is not an unconscious act
– said Ambassador Pawłos.
Intervention of the Polish Embassy in Berlin
He announced that “with full determination the Polish Embassy in Berlin, as well as consulates in individual consular districts – Länder (because German states are responsible for educational content in their area) will take action to ensure that this dangerous content disappears from educational materials in Germany as soon as possible”.
We will request support from the Federal Minister for the Family, the Elderly, Women and Youth Lisa Paus and the German Bishops’ Conference (Deutsche Bischofskonferenz). But first we will protest to the Federal Government Commissioner and the Conference of Education Ministers of the Federal Republic of Germany
That is what Ambassador Pawłoś told PAP on Monday.
