About “Szpagat” to which Nawrocki was forced during the Berlin visit – writes “Tageszeitung”.
“The Polish president had to demonstrate a diplomatic sense. A right-wing-narrod politician had to serve anti-German moods in his homeland on Tuesday. Reparative claims were one of the topics that provided him with victory in the election in June, admittedly with a slight advantage. On the other hand, he could not confront the German with exaggerated demands, so as not to discourage the ally to the growing military threat from Russia, “write Barbara Oern and CEM-Odos Gueler.
According to the commentators, it was a “irritable situation”which is why both sides “preventively secured against critical questions”, giving up a press conference. Instead, they stopped at previously prepared statements made to the public with other channels.
“TAZ” mentioned Nawrocki's interview for the daily “Bild”, in which the Polish president noted that he did not consider the issue of reparation closed. Nawrocki expressed the belief that with President Frank-Walter Steinmeier and Chancellor Friedrich Merz there would be an agreement in this matter.
“The German side was less optimistic” – write “TAZ” publicists. Steinmeier said that from a German point of view, the matter of reparations is finally clarified.

The newspaper pointed out that Reparative claims from the Polish side are nothing new and belonged to the “standard repertoire” of the right-wing PiS partywhich lost power after the election in 2023.
Polish politicians who – like Nawrocki – are focused on the national interests of their country “should think about Does Poland serve Poland – asks the publisher “Frankfurter Allgemeine Zeitung” Berthold Kohler. The author emphasized that “Democratic Germany, aware of the serious suffering, which Poles brought to Hitler's assault (and Stalin), are constantly working on improving bilateral relations with Poland and are her close ally in the EU and NATO, despite the PiS propaganda hostile to Germany.”
It is not Germany who threatens the sovereignty of Poland and its territorial integrity, but Russia – writes Kohler By pointing out that Germany supports Poland in defense of borders, putting their own soldiers, planes and anti -aircraft defense systems at their disposal. “Nawrocki and his team focus primarily on an alliance with (US President Donald) Trump. It remains their secret, why they trust a man who can be grown like wax by an aggressor who would gladly conquer Poland again” – concludes Kohler in the pages of “FAZ”.
Nawrocki's visit to Berlin is also comments on the regional press. “Neue osnabruecker Zeitung” noted that after the recent invasion of Russian drones to Poland, The German authorities announced the extension and extension of the mission of Bundeswehr fighters guarding Polish airspace. “What serves Poland's security also serves the safety of Germany,” the newspaper emphasized.
Instead of losing strength in the struggle for the past, the Polish authorities should look into the future and should move away from the logic resulting from compensation claims. “The one who does not understand the reality of the 21st century will lose not only friends, but also the safety and field of maneuver,” warns “Neue Osnabruecker Zeitung”.
