“They Want To Occupy Poland Again” – Merkel, European Union Compared To Nazis In Latest Diplomatic Spat

Ever since the Polish Law and Justice party (PiS) party won elections in October on a Eurosceptic platform, relations between the formerly staunchly pro-Europe Poland, and the European Union have been on a sharp downhill slide, and earlier today they hit a rock bottom when Poland’s justice minister dismissed an EU commissioner’s criticism of new media regulations as “silly” in a confrontational letter which according to Reuters, “marked a low in the new government’s relations with the bloc and the commissioner’s home Germany.”
It got so bad, Poland pulled out the Nazi card: minister Zbigniew Ziobro questioned Berlin’s own record on media freedoms and alluded to Nazi Germany’s occupation of Poland during World War Two in the message to EU commissioner Gunther Oettinger.
The reason for the spat is that Oettinger, responsible for the bloc’s policy on society – which supposedly means Brussels’ current propaganda director – said last week the EU’s largest eastern member should be put under supervision over its plans to put Polish public TV and radio broadcasters under state control and to change the makeup of the constitutional court. The EU executive has written to Poland asking how the new media law, giving the treasury minister the right to appoint heads of state-run broadcasters, tallies with EU rules on media freedoms.
The response was scathing: “I am not in the habit of replying to silly comments on Poland made by foreign politicians,” Ziobro wrote to Oettinger in a letter published by state news agency PAP on Saturday.

One thought to ““They Want To Occupy Poland Again” – Merkel, European Union Compared To Nazis In Latest Diplomatic Spat”

  1. Poland is becoming increasingly militant and even criticism on part of Germany, the EU engine, can’t bring it to senses. Poland alludes to German occupation of Poland in WWII and calls the EU criticism “silly”.
    What alarms me most is that Poles get the most sophisticated military weapons now from Obama and that Poland is now staying under the rule of mentally detrimental pol, PIS leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski. (https://www.cyberguerrilla.org/blog/?p=3990)!
    Frankly, I expect rather nasty future for the EU…..
