EU Pres.Warns Poland on Anti-Semitic Excesses; Says Aura Ruining Poland's Role Like a Tsunami

EU (European Union) President Donald Tusk warned Poland yesterday against its recent "anti-Semitic excesses" and other behavior that risked ruining Warsaw's global standing, the AFP (Agence France-Presse) website reports today (February 24, 2018).


Tusk -- himself a former prime minister of Poland -- said he told Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki on the sidelines of an EU summit in Brussels that negative opinions about Warsaw were turning into a "tsunami."


"I told Mr. Morowiecki that the situation is very serious, it directly affects Polish interests, the reputation of Poland, and Poland's standing in the world," Tusk said.


Poland's right-wing government has faced an international row over a recent law making it illegal to attribute Nazi crimes to the Polish state. Morowiecki then infuriated Israel and Jews around the world even more by saying there were "Jewish perpetrators" in the Holocaust.
