- German Foreign Minister Annalena Baerbock was eager to showcase harmony during a visit to Warsaw hours after Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau signed a diplomatic note in which the country officially demanded reparations for damage caused in WWII.
- The Green minister visited Warsaw on Monday, the anniversary of German reunification, to “acknowledge the contribution brave Polish people made to the reunification,” according to the ministry.
- Earlier the same day, however, Polish Foreign Minister Zbigniew Rau signed a diplomatic note to Berlin which made official the claim of war reparations worth €1.3 trillion from Germany – a sum the ruling Law and Justice party (PiS) first brought to the table in mid-September.
