German potatoes and the Polish President

The turmoil relates to the Polish side calling off the anniversary summit of Weimar Triangle, blaming the insulting publication of the German newspaper. On Wednesday, for the first time, a stance on the issue was taken by the Germans. The German government spokesperson Ulrich Wilhelm explained that the article was reflecting the opinions of the author and not the government. "We do not comment on press publications concerning representatives of other countries. The Polish government knows this. We delivered this information via diplomatic channels," said Wilhelm. On Wednesday the head of the Sejm Foreign Affairs Commission Pawel Zalewski again stated that President Kaczynski did not attend the summit due to health problems. "I know that the President wanted the summit to be a success," said Zalewski. (Rzeczpospolita, pp. A1, A3) M.M.
