INTRODUCTION
This article shows very clearly the aggressive anti-Polish results of the systems of “European Citizenship”, “freedom of movement and investment” and above all of the EU’s system of Regions which were all cleverly constructed in order to promote the expansion of German interests to the East- just as the writers of this website have been warning the British political Establishment for at least 10 years. Such aggression towards Poland and the Czech Republic is now possible because successive generations of British politicians have succumbed to and financed a European Community which has destroyed the very concept of the nation State as a defence against political aggression, the concept of national currencies as a barrier against economic imperialism and the reality of the sovereignty of peoples as a break on anti-democratic tyranny.
The “Landsmannschaft Ostpreussen” (East Prussian section of the Association of German Expellees) is holding a congress in Cologne this weekend which seeks to interfere in the internal affairs of the Polish State. The “Expellees” assume the right to determine in Germany community representatives whom they will allocate to Polish local councils. Such actions impose a twin sovereignty on internal Polish affairs. Despite far reaching consequences more than 30 Polish provincial parliamentarians and Mayors intend to take part in the “Congress for Community Politics” organised by the East Prussians. (NB It may seem odd that Poles should aid this blatant attempt to re-establish German occupation in North East Poland but it is a poor area and collaboration could be profitable!)
The independently created representative organs of German citizens which have been founded in Germany (Homeland Regional Communities) claim to be regional authorities just as they existed during the Nazi period (as “Kreise”). These authorities lost any legal basis at the time of the German surrender on 8th May 1945 and were dissolved by the Allies. Putative successor organisations were forbidden. Only the Polish State has legal representative power in the former East Prussia.
FANCIFUL CREATIONS
The fanciful creations of the “Homeland Local Communities” of the German expellees cannot even claim to be a kind of community in exile of the former German inhabitants of East Prussia since the totality of the former East Prussian citizens have never been called to vote, not least because it would be neither practical nor politically possible to do so. Rather the “Community representatives” of the German “Homeland Local Communities” act according to delegatory powers which plainly contradict democratic principles.
Nevertheless the “Expellees” claim that their fanciful representative organs will complement the legal authorities of the Polish State. Both are “regional bodies which represent the former and present inhabitants of the locality”(1)
ODER NEISSE REGIONS
Equally presumptuous are the actions of those Polish community representatives who by travelling to the Cologne congress support the claims of the German “Expellees”. Instead of calling them representatives of Poland they are termed “Members of the Polish Administrations in the Oder Neisse Regions”. This terminology is based on illegal demands of several German Governments according to which the Western Territories of Poland still belong to Germany(by describing them as “Oder Neisse Regions under Polish administration).
WELCOME IN COLOGNE
Despite numerous assertions that touch on the foreign policy concerns of the German State and which threaten the peaceful co-existence of Poles and Germans the “East Prussian Congress” is being welcomed in Cologne. As the organisers announce several German Parliamentarians are expected from Berlin. The congress is the third meeting of its kind in three years.
