Today, Ukraine defends Poland and Europe, including Germany; If not for the heroic dressing of the imperial state of Putin, Poland would have access to a further and month-long sphere of influence – President of the Republic of Poland Andrzej Duda on the European website in an interview for the daily “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” (“FAZ”).
“Russia’s imperial aspirations are not only the ideas of Vladimir Putin, but a large part of Russian society is (also) imbued with them. Journalists talk there about Russia, which goes all the way to Polish Kalisz. These are Great Russian ideas about the subjugation of other nations. Today, thanks to tomorrow, it is not safety that is at risk, but I think that unfortunately tomorrow will become real in the future ”- president. We hope now. “Ukraine shows what can be done with good weapons,” he notes.
A dispute over tanks
“” Recalls in this context, Warsaw announced a recent study that the facility from South Korea. thousand tanks and 48 aircraft, and asks if this order is to fill the gap that was not filled by Germany as part of the exchange of the so-called Ringtausch.
“No, I see it differently. Poland delivered 260 post-Soviet T-72 tanks to Ukraine. Not from stock, but directly from military resources. These were the tanks that welcomed the new anyway. From dawn, we planned to buy new new tanks, and now we had to go to the company. There was an urgent need to fill in the gaps (…), ”explains President Duda. “We counted on any German Leopard tanks today, you don’t even have a project. Now we have ordered the American American Abrams tanks, and South Korea has introduced a supply offer for its K2 tanks. They are lighter than Leopard, but modern, ”he adds.
In response to the “FAZ” suggestion that the Ringtausch public transport between Berlin and Warsaw probably would not have happened if the “gentlemen were higher than 1990” between the governments, and the relationship between the former “the worst since 1990”, Andrzej Duda replies: “Consider yourself a person who wants to check the social-German relations. I try to understand the Germans, and also because my wife, German, and I have a lot of independent indies with Germany and a great success for this country ”.
“I think I have a good relationship with (German) President Frank-Walter Steinmeier. (…) When it comes to seeing yourself as an advocate of Polish-German relations in the country “ – he points out.
“To a Quarrel I Never Believed”
President Duda emphasizes, however, that Gas projects related to Nord Stream poses as “the great impeccable against Germany.” He says that for years the chancellor (Angela Merkel – PAP) has been drawing attention in many mirrors, that the projects would be healed by “harmful to Europe and deadly for us Poles”, that they would be “the key to Russian dominance in the title market”. “Many of our neighbors saw the same way,” emphasizes the president.
Chancellor Merkel justified that “Nord Stream is a purely economic project.” “To an argument I never believed in. Then came the 2021 contract between President (US Joe) Biden and Merkel, in line with a state in which Washington gave up its opposition to Nord Stream 2, and Merkel called Putin that same evening. I was stunned. To be understood as an act of not only indifference, but even hostility towards our part of Europe – emphasizes Duda.
The “FAZ”, also the American president, or the fact that the president of Law and Justice, Jarosław Kaczyński, “accused the Germans of not having come to terms with the Nazi past,” had to do with the approaching parliamentary elections in Poland.
“The Germans never denied what crimes were committed during the Nazi era. This is important from a moral point of view. Unjust claims can also be called the claim that investigations into Nazi crimes cannot be called in the light of criminal law. But it also happens that there are cases such as the usual SS Heinz Reinefarth, who suppressed the Warsaw Uprising, and then for a long time after the war, who served as the mayor of Sylt. Another thing is that Germany did not compensate Poland for material war losses. This issue has never been resolved. Such is the performance in our country ”- emphasizing the Polish image.
Money from the Reconstruction Fund
Presidents on the lack of an agreement between Poland and the EU on the rule of law for the payment of funds from the reconstruction fund, Duda, is the result of “a policy of maneuvering with politicians sitting in related institutions”. to the government.
Duda refutes the allegations cited by “FAZ” that the reforms of the Polish judiciary have not been induced. In tw. judges who commit crimes themselves may be brought to justice, he points out. “Such judges must be dispatched with disciplines to make the public that they are not holy cows. Thanks to this, people will have more confidence in the judiciary – he adds.
Finally, the president was asked by the “FAZ” if the situation had been lost if the ruling right wing had lost in election elections, and her supporters “did not recognize the election results and besieged parliament”.
“According to the constitution of the president, the continuity of state power is guaranteed (…) which also includes the democratic order, if you maintain control over the maintenance of power after the elections” – assured by Andrzej Duda. “Institutions monitoring the rules in the election process and me as the president also watch over. The street will not decide about winning the elections in Poland “ – (PAPKA)
