FILE - German Chancellor Olaf Scholz attends the cabinet meeting of the German government at the chancellery in Berlin, Germany, Wednesday, Aug. 23, 2023. Poland's conservative ruling party unveiled a new campaign ad Monday that portrays German Chancellor Olaf Scholz in an unfavourable light.
In the new campaign spot, party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski pretends to reject a call from Scholz suggesting Poland should raise the retirement age, which is one of the topics of a voter referendum taking place at the same time as the election.The question targets the main opposition party, Civic Platform and its leader, Donald Tusk, a former Polish prime minister and European Union president who was on good terms with Germany.
The gesture implies that Tusk followed suggestions from Germany as Poland's prime minister and that the current nationalist government does not come under outside influences. Law and Justice's voter base includes older adults who may hold hard feelings over Germany's brutal occupation of Poland during World War II.
"Germany and Poland, as partners in the center of Europe, bear joint responsibility for good-neighbourly relations and for a positive trans-border and European cooperation," the embassy press office said in an email to The Associated Press.
