Warsaw summons German ambassador over 'anti-Polish' comments

Polish Foreign Minister Witold Waszczykowski has summoned the German ambassador in Warsaw because of "anti-Polish comments by German politicians," the ministry said in a statement Sunday.

    Le ministre polonais de la Justice Zbigniew Ziobro s'est adressé à Günther Oettinger, commissaire européen à l'Économie et à la Société numériques, suite à la décision de la Commission européenne de mettre la Pologne sous la surveillance.

Je suis le petit-fils d'un officier polonais qui a combattu pendant la Seconde Guerre mondiale contre la "surveillance allemande" dans les rangs de l'Armia Krajowa (le plus important mouvement de résistance en Pologne sous l'occupation allemande en 1939-1945 — ndlr)",

    a déclaré M. Ziobro cité par RadioPolsha.pl.

    Günther Oettinger a proposé le 3 janvier dernier d'activer "le mécanisme d'Etat de droit" en mettant Varsovie "sous surveillance" pour sa réformes des médias publics. L'amendement à la loi polognaise sur les médias permet notamment de limoger sans explications les dirigeants de la Télévision et de la Radio publiques polonaises............http://fr.sputniknews.com/international/20160110/1020831739/pologne-union-europeenne-medias-loi.html#ixzz3wrtHPieF
