🚨 €1.3T WWII Reparations Drama: Tusk vs. Merz in Berlin Blowout! 🇵🇱🇩🇪
Polish PM Donald Tusk and German Chancellor Friedrich Merz's Berlin meetup went from teamwork vibes to full-on clash over Nazi-era WWII damages. Tusk revived Poland's massive claim, calling out Germany's "closed book" on the issue.
💥 Key Clash Points:
- Tusk: Poland got zero real payback for WWII horrors—Soviet-forced 1950s waiver doesn't count!
- Past Polish demands: €1.3 TRILLION in comp.
- Merz: Legally done, but we'll honor the pain with a new Berlin memorial for Polish victims.
🇩🇪 Germany's Moves:
- Returning stolen Polish artifacts ASAP.
- Boosting aid for surviving victims (now down to 50K from 60K—Tusk urged: "Hurry up!").
- Talks on more support, but no big promises yet.
🌐 Big Picture Impact:
This feud could derail key ties on Ukraine defense, border security, and the Weimar Triangle (DE-PL-FR). Both slammed nationalists stirring hate, but Ukraine collab stays rock-solid, per Tusk.
Euro unity tested—will history cash out? 👀 #WWIIReparations
