Confederation leader Sławomir Mentzen sharply criticized President Karol Nawrocki following the latter’s announcement of a potential revocation of Ukraine’s President Volodymyr Zelenskyy’s Order of the White Eagle. Nawrocki had previously indicated he would consider stripping Zelenskyy of the honor due to the ongoing controversy surrounding the commemoration of soldiers from the Ukrainian Insurgent Army (UPA). Mentzen’s statement, translated as “Do not make threats you cannot fulfill!”, frames Nawrocki’s announcement as an empty gesture. The dispute centers on differing views regarding the historical legacy of the UPA, a controversial organization with a complex history during World War II. This public disagreement highlights tensions within Polish politics regarding Ukraine and its historical narratives. The situation underscores the sensitivity of historical memory in the context of current geopolitical events.
