Jaroslaw Kaczynski
Donald Tusk, the prime minister of Poland, said, as part of an emotional campaign issue before the ballot on Sunday, that Poland had no better friend than Germany.
Kaczynski said these words in a book, The Poland of Our Dreams, released a few days ago. He wrote that it was important that from Poland Merkel wanted a subordination, “albeit soft.”
These remarks are considered as a means to stir anti-German sentiment, as the former prime minister attempts to regain power, a strategy his party, Law and Justice Party, has used before.
Donald Tusk accused the brother of the former president of Poland of “exposing Poland’s national interests to harm,” while the foreign minister Radek Sikorski charged that he was harming the political and economic interests of the country by fueling conspiracies about Germany.
Sikorski said Law and Justice party should stop stirring bad blood against “Poland’s biggest trading partner.” “Where are the limits of obsession?” Sikorski asked rhetorically.
Kaczynski went on to doubt the legitimacy of the election of Merkel in 2005, by saying that it was something amiss in the way she was elected. He said that the election of the German chancellor was not coincidental and that it should be studied by “political scientists and historians.”
His remarks created controversy in Poland, and when asked what he meant by the words he wrote, the former PM said Merkel know what he was talking about.
He recalled a dinner with Merkel before she was elected as a chancellor, and that on that occasion she said Poland should not have participated in the campaign against Iraq that had started in 2003 and was being led by the United States.
His comment on that assertion made by the future chancellor was that she wanted Poland to do exactly was Germany was doing.
Kaczynski used the anti-German sentiment in the past to win elections. In 2005, Tusk was supposed to win elections to Lech Kaczynski, when word got out that Tusk’s grandfather had served in the Nazy army.
Jaroslaw Kaczynski was a prime minister between 2006-2007, and his policy was marked by a strong relation to the United States and the stirring a powerful anti-German and anti-Russian sentiment.
His discourse won over the older people, whom he reminded about how the two neighboring superpowers split Poland in 1939 and over the last two centuries.
The German government had no comment on the case. The German spokesman only stated that Germany values the friendship with Poland.
