Outrage over the German party’s graphic. “Germans are crazy” or “Poles have no sense of humor”?

“The unification of Germany has taken place, but not yet completely. We are working on this together,” the management board of the Social Democratic Party of Germany emphasized on October 3 on social media. The entry was posted on the occasion of German Unity Day. It is illustrated with graphics of German borders and a double arrow pointing towards Poland. “What did the SPD want to tell or announce to us in this way?” – wonders publicist Henryk Broder in Die Welt.

Is Germany planning expansion to the East? A publicist speaks out about controversial graphics

“Will German unity be achieved only when the lost eastern provinces return to the Reich? Is there already an exposé on this subject, with the working title ‘enlargement to the East’?” – Broder wondered. The publicist emphasized that “no social democrat would have come up with such an idea.” – Fundamentally, a social democrat is not stupid, he just has a very big problem with thinking – he commented, referring to the German TV series.

Broder emphasized that perhaps someone was “celebrating wildly.” – It turned out to be stupid, because the post is going viral on the Polish Internet and many Internet users would like to know whether the Germans have gone mad or whether they are actually planning something to complete European integration. Poles are known for having no sense of humor and are quick to get offended when they don’t understand a joke, he explained.

A striking poster of the Social Democratic Party of Germany. “Poles, can I have a laugh”?

The publicist concluded that the Social Democratic Party of Germany should send the party’s general secretary Kevin Kuehnert and SDP co-chair Saskia Esken to Poland so that “Poles will understand that they do not have to be afraid of Germans and can laugh.”
