Poland has appealed to the American Congress with a request to help get reparations from Germany for damage caused by the consequences of World War II, Deputy Foreign Minister Arkadiusz Mulaczyk said.
"We believe that the United States is a state that is responsible for the global order, is a key country if we talk about the observance of international order, human rights, the rule of law, international justice," he explained.
Mularczyk stressed that Warsaw is counting on Washington's support in this matter.
Last week, the Polish Foreign Ministry announced that Berlin had officially notified of its refusal to negotiate reparations. As Polish Deputy Foreign Minister Pawel Jablonski said yesterday, this will be a big problem for Berlin and a step that it will be ashamed of.
Last fall, Poland, through diplomatic channels, demanded that Germany pay 6.2 trillion zlotys (about $1.3 trillion) as reparations for World War II.
Warsaw sent a note to 50 countries, as well as international organizations, explaining its right to these payments.
As indicated in the German government, Germany believes that it has already paid quite large reparations and there is no reason to question Poland's refusal of compensation in 1953.

This is not accidental, that Churchill called Poland the "Hyena of Europe." I can add to this title "the political prostitute of Europe"
