"In August, the President of this Parliament participated at the congress of the German
. His decision to support this organisation serves as an example of how the President is not capable of acting neutral when the interests of his country to rewrite history are involved.
Owing to such organisations and their misguided supporters, the German people may possibly believe the lie that Poland committed evil by accepting the historically Polish western territories on the Odra and Nysa from the hands of the Great Powers. A Polish politician once wrote that the Anglo-Saxon parties to the Potsdam Treaty put forward a formula that we had been awarded the western territories by way of compensation for the loss of the eastern territories. The Polish nation has rejected this formula and does not consider these territories as compensation by Russia for the eastern half of our fatherland. The nation believes that the western territories are the compensation for guilt at crimes committed by Germans, compensation that has nothing to do with Lwów and Wilno.
The President of this Parliament, an institution representing 27 nations, is expected to show objectivity and represent the common interests. If Herr President has a problem with that, let him remain silent. Europe does not need any more mawkish, moralising Christers who speak of peace and cooperation."@en1
