US EditionNew Polish President Demands Germany Pay War Reparations on Invasion Anniversary
Karol Nawrocki demands Germany pay reparations for WWII damages including over 6 million Polish deaths and extensive destruction, asserting unresolved claims despite previous USSR settlements.
- Poland's new president Karol Nawrocki demanded Germany pay war reparations during the September 1, 2025, World War II anniversary at Westerplatte.
- Nawrocki based his demand on Germany's 1939 invasion and six-year occupation that killed 6 million Poles, about 17% of the population.
- The event included President Nawrocki, Prime Minister Donald Tusk, and other officials, with Tusk emphasizing the need to identify Poland’s enemies and allies today.
- Nawrocki called for a definitive resolution regarding compensation claims from Germany, which he firmly insists upon, while Tusk emphasized the importance of a united Europe for ensuring security.
- The reparations demand contrasts with Germany’s stance that the matter is legally closed and with Tusk’s government ending the official Polish pursuit of reparations in 2023.
