Poland ‘ready’ to demand WWII reparations from Germany

Poland’s rightwing premier Thursday said she believed her country had the right to demand World War II reparations from Germany but added that her government was still mulling its official position.

“The position of the Polish government on war reparations will be officially expressed when a political decision is taken,” Prime Minister Beata Szydlo told the commercial radio station RMF FM .

“In my opinion, Poland has the right to this (reparations) and the Polish state has the right to ask for them,” Szydlo said.

“We are ready to go ahead with this procedure,” she said.
