Original title: foreign media: Merkel's farewell visit was "insulted" by the Polish President
Reference News Network reported on September 14 that according to the German Le Monde reported by the Russian satellite news agency on September 13, Warsaw did not give the warmest welcome to German Chancellor Angela Merkel, while Polish President Duda refused to meet with her, which was an insult to his German colleagues.
The author Philip Fritz wrote that the meeting between Merkel and Duda was planned in advance. However, after arriving in Warsaw, the German Chancellor had to change his visit plan. "Of course, later she received a bunch of flowers from the Polish Prime Minister."
The author emphasizes that during Merkel's "farewell trip", she was received by US President Biden and Ukrainian President Zelensky, while Poland, an EU member, refused to meet her.
Fritz believes that Warsaw's move is an insult and shows that there is a conflict between the two countries.
The author points out that the trade volume between Poland and Germany has surpassed that of Italy, and Poland ranks fifth in the list of German trading partners. But in a political sense, Warsaw and Berlin "have nothing to say to each other". There are more and more differences between the two countries, and the Polish media describe Germany as an "enemy". Overall, Warsaw is increasingly discussing the possibility of brexit.
