The head of Poland’s National Security Bureau, Pawel Soloch, has demanded that Germany explain Chancellor Olaf Scholz’s statement on the possibility of revising the border between the two countries.
German Chancellor Olaf Scholz, at the M100 Media Award ceremony in Potsdam, in the presence of former European Council head and current Polish opposition leader Donald Tusk, made it clear to Poland that by demanding reparations from Germany, it could face demands to revise the Polish-German border.
Addressing Tusk, Scholz clarified that the agreements made by Willy Brandt and others were of “great importance”, stressing that the Polish-German border was “established once and for all”. “After hundreds of years of our history, I would not want some people to dig through the history books and look for opportunities to revise what has been established,” he said.
On Polish Television, the head of Poland’s National Security Bureau, Pawel Soloch, said that in order “to regain confidence after these words, there must be deep explanatory words from the German side, from the Chancellor himself”.
“If not, we are entitled to interpret this as a signal, maybe not a threat, but a demonstration that ‘this is us, this is me, this is the government – is a guarantee that this issue will not be raised,'” he added.
Soloh is certain that Scholz made his statement precisely because of the ongoing war reparations dispute. “This coincidence is not coincidental. The fact that this (Scholz’s statement – ed.) was left without any attempt to somehow not so much obscure as to explain in detail from the German side may cause the worst associations,” he added.
