Ruling party leader: Poland will not pay tax on German crimes

Poland's ruling Law and Justice party leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski said on Monday that Poland would not allow itself to be forced to pay a tax on German crimes. In an interview for the Do Rzeczy weekly newspaper, Kaczynski was asked if Poland's current controversy with Israel over Warsaw's new anti-defamation law would have an impact on the new property restitution bill. He replied that Jewish circles were against linking these two policies and those who want to treat them together "are even accused of anti-Semitism, but I am not an anti-Semite, on the contrary, I am firmly against anti-Semitism."
