What’s Behind Poland’s Reparation Debate?

Despite the fact that there is a massive land war raging just across the border, Poland's ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party has decided that now is a good time to revive the decades-old issue of German war reparations. In doing so, PiS has once again put its own interests first.

WARSAW – Ever since Russia invaded Ukraine on February 24, Poland has received daily threats from Russian propagandists that it will be next. Yet despite these high stakes, Poland’s Law and Justice (PiS) party government has decided to start a fight with Germany – one of our closest allies – by demanding huge war reparations for the destruction caused by Hitler’s Third Reich.
