Politicians believe that the gov't should take a hard line over Stoiber's r emarks

Prime Minister Leszek Miller said that his government is not taking serious ly the empty words put forward by Edmund Stoiber, a politician who is hoping to be elected as Chancellor of Germany. On Sunday he asked Poland, the Czech Republic, and other countries to reverse the laws expropriating the Germans after World War II. Minister of Foreign Affairs, Wlodzimierz Cimoszewicz an nounced that the government would not officially react to Stoiber's stateme nt. However, politicians from all parties agree that the government should take an official stand, only their view on the matter is different. Some of them think it is only part of Stoiber's pre-electoral rethoric, while the o thers see Stoiber's words as a serious declaration of his policies, and bel ieve that the government should take a strong stance on the question.
