History / The story about German- Polish reconciliation [194]
That's a tough statement and you should bring examples for that. In my opinion (West) Germany's elites did a lot of things right after WWII.
I know too little about Polish home affairs so I better shut up and say nothing.
It appeared to me that Poland under the Kaczynski's was rather isolated in the European Union, while now it seems to be much better integrated now under Tusk. Its economy is booming and was hardly affected by the European financial crisis. I don't know if this is Tusk's achievement.
Poland is a fully independent country since 1990 so you can vote whoever you want and you really don't have to care about what your neighbours think. Of course it is better for your economy and state if you get along well with your neighbours.
Is she? Her family roots go back to the cities of Danzig/Gdansk and Elbing/Elblag. She was born in West German Hamburg and her father was a protestant priest, so they moved to East German Brandenburg in 1954 because the Protestant church sent her father there. Her family wasn't influental at all, because, like in all communist regimes, church members were constantly discriminated.
She wasn't actively opposing the East German communist regime, but she also did not endorse it more as she had to do in order to get along well. Some of you probably remember the Polish communist regime and I bet not all of you were resistance fighters, too.
I didn't vote for her, but again (!) I can't see why she should be a worse leader than other heads of states worldwide.
Not only four generation ago, there is a general flaw in your high culture I think.

Kaczynski just have a bad press in Germany, does it means they were automatically bad, for Poland? Fine, Germany didn't like their political standing, so what ?

First of all she comes from prominent and influential family in DDR !
