Reparation demands are quite a useful tool for Polish politicians. Whenever there’s a political scandal or an unpopular new law they can just demand some reparations from Germany as a distraction. The answer will always be “no” and the media will direct their anger at that for a couple days.
Also, presidential elections in May. They have to one-up PiS in being PiS because it sells and a copy is the only thing they can come up.
Haha I bet the politicians in my country wish they had a useful distraction like that
Such an obvious play lmao.
The compensation of Poland according to wiki concluded per 1953:
“The Provisional Polish Government concluded the Polish-Soviet Reparation Treaty on 16 August 1945. The treaty allocated Poland’s share of confiscated German machinery, goods and raw materials. Furthermore Poland received 15% of the German merchant fleet acquired by the Soviet Union. Deliveries were overseen by a joint Polish-Soviet commission and lasted until 1953”.
