“A new opportunity opens for partnership in leadership on equal terms for Germany and Poland,” argued Freytag von Loringhoven, former German ambassador to Poland, in Arndt, in a column published a few days ago in the “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung ”, which was dedicated to the election results in Poland.
According to the former ambassador, the election result in Poland was important for three reasons: it “stopped the dismantling of democracy”, allowed Poland to “be proactive in the EU” and return to “a constructive partnership with Germany”.
The new Poland will be shaped by its greater geopolitical and economic importance, but also by the consequences of internal polarization and anti-German and anti-European hate propaganda. Resentments, fears and beliefs are deep-seated and will not disappear overnight
– said the German politician.
The former ambassador states that cooperation with the new government, most likely led by Donald Tusk, will be much better.
After eight years of deadlock, Donald Tusk’s government will once again work closely with Germany
– He wrote.
A new opportunity for partnership in leadership on equal terms opens up for Germany and Poland
– added.
A new beginning
According to him, the government in Berlin “should take this opportunity and approach Warsaw with specific proposals.” He sees the “best new beginning” in the “common eastern policy”.
With the new government in Warsaw, Berlin can also present a concept for the reconstruction of Ukraine, which – unlike PiS – is based on cooperation and not competition.
– he said.
Germany and Poland have a common interest in not letting Putin take power by declaring peace an unconditional condition for joining the alliance. Berlin and Warsaw should jointly explore whether, if Kiev so wishes, partial NATO membership could be a transition option, as was the case with both parts of Germany before 1989.
– we are reading.
Moreover, Von Loringhoven argues that It is in the interests of Berlin and Warsaw that the Bundeswehr should be more closely integrated with the Polish armed forces, and in the long term also the permanent transfer of German troops to Poland..
At the same time, Berlin must work with Warsaw and Paris to strengthen defense in Europe
– added.
“They follow the blow…”
PiS MEP Jacek Saryusz-Wolski referred to these last words about the cooperation between the Polish and German armies on Platform X.
They follow the blow…
– he wrote briefly.
