Who doesn’t have enough evidence? Katerina Barley talks about Poland’s famine, Ursula von der Leyen wishes Tusk the premiership, Manfred Weber declares that he is building a “firewall against Law and Justice”., the interests of Poland and Germany during the Russian invasion of Ukraine turned out to diverge dramatically, and the Nord Stream project was literally deadly dangerous. Colleague Dariusz Matuszak outlined Berlin’s anti-Polish policy in three more extensive texts.

Germany’s attitude towards Poland is so condescending that if it succumbs, it threatens to make us completely dependent on our western neighbour. The problem is that part of society doesn’t see this, especially as noticing the pressure from Berlin is drawing United Right voters, and this is the biggest threat to the mainstream media in Poland. It is better for them to remain silent about the threat from the core of the EU than to strengthen the Polish government.
Pull your hair or don’t dress up
This is reminiscent of the old situation in which divided Poles fought each other so much that they did not believe in the Turkish threat. In 1671, King Wiśniowiecki and Hetman Sobieski were so at odds that their supporters would rather jump at each other’s throats than defend the country against the southeastern threat. The military commander was the first to sober up, because it was he who saw the real threat in Ukraine, but in Warsaw it was argued that the alarming tone about the arrival of the Tatars in the Republic of Poland was only a provocation. It got to the point that the hetman sent captured Tatar prisoners to Warsaw, but even their supporters of the king pulled their hair and mustache, at first thinking that they were disguised.
Today it is also not easy to present such “Tatars” within the borders of the Republic to the public opinion, that is, Germans who want to organize our country. The contempt of von der Leyen or Weber does not appeal to them there’s no way to grab “by the hair” or “by the moustache” to show that this is a real threat.
National self-destruction
Finally, there is also an even worse option than 1671, namely 1792 and Targowica. Bartosz Wieliński boasts in “Gazeta Wyborcza” that he himself asked for a German intervention in the German “Süddeutsche Zeitung”. Better order from the outside than reforms that “threaten freedom”? This is a Targowica classic. And in fact, in Poland – apart from those who do not believe in threats to Polish sovereignty – there are also people who believe and count on it. Because for them a small, dwarfish and dependent Poland is better than Poland under the rule of PiS. National self-destruct has already switched to full mode.
The latter cannot be convinced by anything, but those who do not see the threat can still be reached with facts. This is a serious playing field for the fall elections.
