Poland
Beata and Angela – no best Friends
The inaugural visit of the Polish Prime Minister in Berlin made quite a lot of differences. Angela Merkel is from Warsaw for your Flüchtlingsplan probably little support.
So cool, it was already long not more at a press conference in the Chancellery. And this was not due to the climate system. Beata Szydlo looked at only a single Time when Angela Merkel over. A real Smile? None! Instead, it only raised the corners of my mouth for the camera. Poland’s new Prime Minister held with both arms on the Desk firmly, her pupils jumped constantly back and forth. Nevertheless, she hid her nervousness well behind an icy facade. The Navy jacket and the white blouses sat accurate to the millimetre. Merkel, in contrast, seemed almost zersaust. Not really, but you could tell her that their common conversation before, not been easy can be.
The editorial recommends
Berlin debut for the Szydło
Three months has time left – now comes the Polish Chancellor Beata Szydło, for the first time in Poland’s largest neighbour. And that makes the visit to Berlin much more difficult. (11.02.2016)
Like the shell, so the core. Anyone from the long-awaited inaugural visit Szydlos compromises had hoped for, was disappointed. A “fixed Relokationsmechanismus” will Poland do not accept, so not the Merkel proposal on the distribution of refugees to follow. But in the stand the new government to the commitment of the previous government in Warsaw, to the distribution of 160.000 Syrian refugees, with 7000 seats to participate. Overall, though, were the previous decisions in refugee policy is not “so effective”, the Problem is still visible. Instead, policies should now be “effective and efficient solutions”.
The statement wanted to Merkel then do not pass without comment. One could not but already after six, seven months ago saying that something had failed. In the “Solidarnosc”movement in Poland had, Yes it took a long time before achievements existed.
Szydlo: For us, life is already a Million refugees
Beata Szydlo demanded respect for Polish interests
After the visit to the Chancellor’s office held Szydlo at the Körber-Foundation, a 40-minute policy speech. Here it was even clearer. Poland wanted to be in the refugee, not the buck, so your Tenor. Finally, have your Land already has a Million refugees from the neighboring country of Ukraine and get no support from the EU, she said. What the EU refugee policy is to be employed, whether it be for Poland’s important to influence what decisions are made. This statement also could be a criticism – namely, on the more or less solitary decision of Merkel’s, the open borders and thus also the Situation in the neighbouring countries to change.
Agreed on both Regierungschefinnen a bit in the desire, the British in the EU. Also, if one wanted to, which is probably as more of a Symbol to be evaluated, a humanitarian project on its feet. In one of the neighbouring countries of Syria is to work a school or a hospital for refugees to be built.
Interference in internal Affairs?
“Sovereignty,” “respect” and “freedom” were words Szydlo in their, part free held speech frequently used. The 52-year-old Völkerkundlerin also referred to Poland’s history: Before 1989, under Soviet influence, would your people have no right to their own decisions had. You would have to fight for their opinion to be allowed to say.
But what the discussion in Europe about the Polish domestic policy is concerned, since moved Szydlo then, however, significant limitations of freedom of expression. Their reasoning: The current changes in Poland would have the majority of the population wanted. Why did your party, the nationalist-conservative PiS, an absolute majority. Of course, the current changes are “not all Milieus munde”. Their protests, but were ultimately but an expression of the functioning of democracy in Poland.
German media would sometimes poorly informed about how the new government works, claimed Szydlo, and named an example: What to do with the Polish media pass, and was already in France have been introduced. There is therefore no reason any longer to talk about it – basta. Also the question of dealing with the constitutional court was an internal affair of Poland. The EU should instead prefer an answer to the refugee crisis.
Criticism of Northstream Pipeline
A further point of contention, Szydlo in the Körber-Stiftung addressed: the gas pipeline project, Northstream II, The Prime Minister criticized the project sharp. The support of this “political project” is inconsistent with the policy of common sanctions against Russia. As a result, could the Pro-European reforms in Ukraine weakened and the country destabilized. In addition, unterlaufe the project the objective of the EU in the energy supply independent of Russia.
