Germany's ambassador to Warsaw has been summoned to meet with Foreign
Minister Witold Waszczykowski on Monday as a row between the two
countries concerning the new Polish government's policies continued to
deepen.
A statement from the foreign ministry referenced "anti-Polish remarks by
German politicians" after multiple politicians had questioned
legislation supported by Poland's right-wing government.
But the spokesman for the German embassy in Warsaw, Lukas Wasielewski,
played down the meeting, saying it did not represent a formal diplomatic
summons. Instead he said he expects "a conversation among partners."
"I am not in the habit of replying silly comments on Poland made by foreign politicians," Ziobro wrote in the open letter.
"Such words, said by a German politician, cause the worst of
connotations among Poles. Also in me. I'm a grandson of a Polish
officer, who during World War II fought in the underground National Army
with 'German supervision'," he said.
