Poland’s controversial opposition leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski said this week Poland is a Russian-German playground, where Poland’s national interests succumb to those of its mightier neighbors. The words were flatly dismissed as outrageous by other Polish politicians—at a time when firms from both Russia and Germany appear to be working against Poland’s effort to diversify its supplies of natural gas.
Mr. Kaczynski’s comment on “a Russian-German condominium” in Poland was easy to dismiss. The conservative leader of the Law and Justice party, Mr. Kaczynski buried it amid ramblings of the purported greatness of his late identical twin brother, President Lech Kaczynski, who died in a plane crash in Russia earlier this year. Mr. Kaczynski’s brutal dealings with Moscow and Berlin when he ran his country in 2005-2007 also help make it possible to dismiss his comments as strongly biased and out of line.
Please discuss the Russian-German issues. What hurdles exactly are the Germans creating for Poland?
