During a Wednesday episode of the Polish TV program *Kropce nad i*, hosts and guests from the Civic Coalition and Law and Justice parties clashed over Germany‑financed war reparations, leaving presenter Monika Olejnik visibly upset.
Storm of Emotions Surrounding Reparations
On Wednesday, Monika Olejnik hosted Krzysztof Brejza from the Civic Coalition and Radosław Fogiel from Law and Justice on “Kropce nad i”. The program began to focus on Germany’s war‑reparation claims.
Brejza Criticises the Government’s Inaction
Brejza argued that the ruling coalition has done little to secure reparations, citing reports from a government‑affiliated institute and the €600 billion Poland secured from the European Recovery Fund. He demanded concrete evidence of progress.
The Politicians Clash Over Repatriation Claims
Fogiel defended the administration, saying it uses EU funds—also contributed by Germany—to invest in Poland. The exchange escalated into a heated argument about the timing and effectiveness of Poland’s reparations strategy.
Olejnik Expresses Personal Frustration
When the debate ended, Olejnik told viewers that the politicians continue to insult her on the topic. She revealed that her father and grandparents survived forced labour in Germany, insisting that the discussion should stop.
