Minister @arekmularczyk:
Dear Mr. Ambassador, @Amb_Niemiec, we appreciate your efforts towards 🇵🇱🇩🇪reconciliation.
However, I must emphasize that even important gestures & words about moral responsibility - without Germany paying real & concrete compensation to the victims of war crimes, compensating war losses & returning looted cultural goods - will be treated by Poles as being insincere.
Only the payment of war reparations & compensation to victims can lead to closer relationships & real reconciliation between our nations 🇵🇱🇩🇪in the future.
This GIS Reports Online article: https://t.co/u7sQUbWEqX claims that #reparationsforPoland is under threat with a potential new government.
Please remember that 🇵🇱's claims:
>have cross-party support
>have public support
>obliges all 🇵🇱 governments to seek compensation from 🇩🇪 through Sejm & Council of Ministers Resolutions
🇵🇱's population loss at 🇩🇪hands alone is 5,219,000 people - over a million victims were children under 10.
It took 33 years to rebuild Poland's human potential.
Those 33 years of lost human potential have never been compensated.
From p31 of the Short War Report:
@b_sendhardt Delighted to see that there is such focus on the details & indeed, there is a response to the minutiae. Looking forward to the same eager German focus on & response to the huge issue of resolving #reparationsforPoland or will there be further #Germansilence?
.@arekmularczyk#TVRepublika:
There are numerous groups of victims both directly and indirectly affected by harm and loss during #WW2, not to mention the Poles that moved abroad. There must be suitable #reparationsforPoland for all groups and Poland.
.@arekmularczyk#TVRepublika:
It is possible that a new opposition government may try to close the issue of #reparationsforPoland by very narrowly assessing the amount of total compensation. We will soon find out what Tusk's plan is but we won't allow this topic to be closed for symbolic amounts of Euros or Złoty.
.@arekmularczyk#TVRepublika:
German Ambassadors carry out German government policy - that is their role. Despite their friendly smiles, they carry out the same German policy of improving their international relations while ignoring their past.
Is slave labour a war crime? Yes✅: Article 6 of the 1945 IMT Charter (Nuremberg)
Are war crimes subject to a statute of limitations? No❌: Article 29 of the Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court
Were Poles forced to work as slave labour? Yes✅: see below.

Common incorrect narratives about Poland concerning its redrawn borders after #WW2
> Poland was given more valuable land than it lost ❌
> Poland gained land after WW2 ❌
> Poland played a role in how its borders were redrawn ❌
All of these are incorrect. Find out more here: https://t.co/P47kBdvN3T
The #coe Committee on Legal Affairs has been working on Lord Keen’s Report on Reparation & Reconciliation Processes & I am delighted with its progress. The aim will be to introduce a mechanism that will oblige Member States to engage in debate re: past conflicts & face sanctions if they don’t. There is no excuse to hide from the negotiation table & this mechanism will prevent that from happening.
.@arekmularczyk on #PolskieRadio24:
The work on the Introductory Report on reconciliation & reparations will help the newly formed Reparations Committee in the Polish Sejm to hold any future Polish government to account in their discussions with Germany about #ReparationsforPoland
