A request for compensation from Poland to Germany for damage caused during World War II has been rejected, the Polish Foreign Ministry has announced.
“According to the German government, the issue of reparations and compensation for damages due to the war is closed and the German government has no intention of opening negotiations on this issue.”
However, Poland will continue to claim compensation for the “German aggression and occupation between 1939-1945”, which according to an account made in September amounts to about 1.3 billion euros.
The German Foreign Minister, Annalena Baerbock, rejected the request during a visit to Warsaw in October, stating that for Berlin the issue is a closed chapter, since according to the country, Poland renounced reparations in 1953.
Poland counter-argued by questioning the validity of the 1953 agreement, since the country was under pressure from the Soviet Union. (YO)
