– No, I will not draw any dramatic consequences because of a slip of the tongue. If politicians had to lose their heads every time they misspoke, I don't know if they would ever be willing to hold any positions – said Prime Minister Donald Tusk at a press conference after a meeting with the Prime Minister of Canada.

“Intentions, deeds, actions are important, not slips of the tongue”

– In politics, intentions, deeds, actions are important, not slips of the tongue. This political war, which uses shameful arguments drawn from our dramatic history, must finally end. […] I don't need to be reminded that concentration camps in Poland were built and run by German Nazis. We all in Poland know that these were German, Nazi concentration camps – the head of government continued.

– Both of my grandfathers were prisoners of German concentration camps […]. One of my grandfathers was also, and to this day remains, the object of a campaign of hatred and contempt organized by those who are ready to distort and falsify this type of history in order to attack their country's prime minister in a completely unacceptable way for many, many years – he went on to say.

“The problem is that there are politicians in Poland closely cooperating with parties that do not hide their sentiment towards Nazism”

– There are politicians and political parties in Poland today that closely cooperate with parties, for example, in Germany, which do not hide their sentiment towards the Nazi past. Which question Polish borders. This is the problem, not the minister's slip of the tongue. The problem is that there are politicians in Europe, and they are growing in strength, who find allies in Poland who directly refer with sentiment, with such excitement, to the Nazis and that history – the Prime Minister added.
