Law and Justice (PiS), the head of the Polish government, is proposing to replace Katarina Barley, vice-president of the European Parliament (EP), for speaking earlier about hunger in Hungary and Poland, Polish MEP Rychard Legutko said on Monday.
The motion will be tabled by PiS, part of the Group of European Conservatives and Reformists, at Tuesday’s meeting of the EP presidency, Legutko told the Polish news agency PAP.
Provocative humiliation
In a letter to EP President David Sassoli, accompanying the motion, cited by the PAP, Legutko underlined: the term aushungern (to starve) means “a provocative humiliation of the Polish and Hungarian nations who keep hunger alive.”
As Barley had not yet apologized for his words, Legutko underlined: whatever the German politician thinks of the governments of Poland and Hungary, “He cannot justify his callousness and lack of respect for the two nations that have suffered for much of the 20th century.”
At the same time, the Polish MEP expressed doubts that the motion to replace Barley, a member of the second-largest group in the EP, the Group of the Progressive Alliance of Socialists and Democrats, will find majority support in the EP. “The petition may even be rejected at the EP Bureau meeting, but it turns out that Barley’s statements are not considered reprehensible by the majority groups in the EP.” commented the Polish politician.
Germans should remember
Due to Barley’s statement, several prominent Polish politicians demanded an official apology last week. Michal Dworczyk, the head of the Polish prime minister’s office called Deutschlandfunk’s later explanation that the term famine did not apply to Poland as counterproductive.
Mateusz Morawiecki On Saturday, the Polish prime minister called the conservative news portal wpolityce.pl reprehensible and a diplomatic scandal. Germans should remember the famine, the genocide, the tragedies for which they are responsible Morawiecki stated. He also highlighted that in the European Union, Hungary and Poland have the same rights as (for example) Germany or France.
Pis responded to Barley’s Deutschlandfunk statement to German public service radio that Viktor Orbán should be financially hungry for the rule of law and that taxes paid by European citizens should be avoided “paid to regimes such as Orbán and Kaczynski. “. .
Zoltán Kovács also reacted to the “hungry” statement of the German politician
