At a time when Russia is carrying out military aggression against Ukraine, the main opposition party in Poland recognizes that the alliance with the US could be politically questioned and perhaps even traded, because that is what inviting the anti-US AgroUnion to the electoral lists amount to – he says in an interview with the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs Prof. Zbigniew Rau.
“German business still dreams of Russia
Referring to German policy, Zbigniew Rau stressed that Poland still counts and that we are crossing our fingers for a “epochal change in German politics”, a departure from the preferential treatment of relations with Russia and Berlin’s focus on cooperation with allies from Central Europe. and Eastern Europe.
At the same time, the minister judged that it is much easier to declare a “pioneering change”, to refrain from something that has been done with great conviction, such as the economic cooperation with Russia, symbolized by Nord Stream and Nord Stream 2, than to change the mindset.
German business still dreams of Russia and the common interests with it. Trying to avoid sanctions. Despite the war, genocide, rapes and crimes committed by Russia against and in Ukraine. But again, no wonder. It is sometimes said that in Germany it is the business sector that is controlled by the German state, and not the German state company. It was a major German venture that supported the Nazis on their rise to power. And then he supported their policy of conquest. I know Poles who refused German grants financed by Thyssen or Bosch for this reason. In Europe, German business is unfortunately not synonymous with morality and honesty
– said the head of the Ministry of Foreign Affairs.
Restore thread
He added that the talk about compensation for Poland for the Polish losses and destruction caused by Germany during World War II is an opportunity to make Germany aware of the need to change its attitude towards Poland and Europe, and to moral responsibility of the country. German affairs.
“Invitation from the anti-American AgroUnion to the electoral lists”
The head of the MFA was asked about the statements made five years ago by Michał Kołodziejczak (AgroUnion), “one” on the KO list for the Sejm in Konin, and whether such statements could harm the alliance with the United States , as Kołodziejczak “supported the future government, consisting of the current opposition”.
In Poland there was a fairly broad social consensus on security policy and the importance of the alliance with the United States for this policy. Since the fall of communism, this consensus has almost never been violated. Even the post-communists admitted that there is no better guarantee of Poland’s security than Poland’s membership in NATO and the presence of US soldiers and US military installations on Polish soil. And now, at a time when Russia is launching an armed aggression against Ukraine, the main opposition party in Poland suddenly recognizes that the alliance with the United States can be politically questioned and perhaps even traded, because this is essentially the invitation to the anti-American AgroUnion against the electoral letters
said the minister.
The context of the war and Russian expectations
According to him, “the context of the war is crucial here.”
Russia has always sought to drive Americans out of Europe because their presence prevents Russia from returning to traditional imperial expansion and blackmailing Europeans with a vision of war if they do not grant Russia further political concessions – usually at the expense of the nations. of Central and Eastern Europe. And suddenly a politician appears in Poland, preaching views in line with Russian expectations, trying to drive a wedge between Poland and America, between Poland and Ukraine, and Polish-American aid to Ukraine, which is fighting against Russia.
said Raw.
He estimated that their political opponents “decided to fill their booth with anti-American goods.”
This is doubly dangerous, not only because America is supporting Ukraine in its war against Russia and thus defending peace in Europe with us, but also because there is a debate going on in America about the extent of America’s involvement in Europe, with extreme circles calling calls for American withdrawal from the role of guarantor of peace in Europe. And in this context, Civic Platform is collaborating with anti-American, anti-Ukrainian, and therefore pro-Russian forces. So if the Civic Coalition came to power in Poland, Poland’s allied credibility would certainly be questioned.
– argues Zbigniew Rau.
