Germany responds Nein to Polish war reparations request. Furious Warsaw
The Polish government has expressed its anger after Germany responded to WWII reparations claims with a one-sentence response lacking substantive or legal arguments.
Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Arkadiusz Mularczyk described the sharp response as disrespectful to the Polish government and people.
“To dismiss it in one sentence means that all assurances of excellent relations between Germany and Poland are false,” Mularczyk said.
The Polish Foreign Ministry revealed on Tuesday that the German government's response to Poland's €1.3 trillion reparations request simply reiterated that the Germans consider the reparations issue closed. The German government has also stated that it has no intention of entering into negotiations on the issue. The answer in the end was a dry NEIN and go.

In response to the German position, the Polish Ministry of Foreign Affairs replied that the Polish government would continue its efforts to obtain compensation for the invasion and occupation of Poland between 1939 and 1945.
Deputy Foreign Minister Mularczyk said Poland had suffered losses of an unimaginable scale and Germany had received a very detailed report on the matter.
The position of the @GermanyDiplo on our note is false. The case of unsettled compensation for Poland for the effects of WWII remains open; morally, politically, and legally. We have an international campaign ahead of us, but I am sure that we will win for both Poland and Poles!

He also accused Germany of using double standards, as it is willing to pay Namibia for the colonial period and return the artifacts to Egypt, while it is unwilling to do anything for Poland.
However, the Polish minister said he was not surprised by the German response, stating that it is indicative of how "Germany treats Poland as a vassal" and instrumentally as part of the German sphere of influence. After all, every country that enters this European Union automatically accepts its own, more or less profitable, submission to Germany. As Paolo Savona once said: "There is no Europe, but a Germany surrounded by fearful people".
Mularczyk said Poland will not be deterred and will continue to publicize the reparations campaign internationally until Germany is forced to change sides.
