Since the Jerusalem conference looks like an event inspired by Russia, it would be very bad if the Polish president participated in such a propaganda meeting – said Polish Deputy Prime Minister Jacek Sasin.
President Andrzej Duda announced on Tuesday that he would not take part in the celebrations in Israel on the occasion of the 75th anniversary of the liberation of the German Nazi Auschwitz extermination camp on January 23, because the organizers of the World Holocaust Forum did not take into account that he would speak at the conference. – We cannot accept the situation where the president of Poland, the first country to fall victim to German and Soviet aggression, a country that suffered such great losses during World War II, a country on whose territory Germany organized the whole terrible industry of the Holocaust, is not asked to delivering a speech. This is something that cannot be simply approved, the more that there will be many speakers – Sasin said Polish public television.
