I thought Germany already paid to all suffering sides

They gave Poland land. Poland declined monetary reparations in the 50s

It's my understanding Poland does this every now and then to gain political leverage. Kinda like how Turkey acts up in order to pressure NATO. They don't actually expect to get it

Political leverage? By constantly looking like a crying kid throwing a fit? Everyone is pointing and laughing, at best.

In Poland, the right wing gets to do this, get denied, and point at Europe and say "See? They won't even compensate us for WW2! Fuck Europe, and vote for us again!". It's just the usual election cycle

Right wing is right wing. Doesn't matter which country they're all fucking idiots. I think the Native American tribal councils should demand about 10 trillion from Poland and every other country that has anyone living in North America. Each. Back rent.

Well, that's the Polish government in a nutshell, but unfortunately about 35% of the country still supports PiS so we're stuck with them for now.

It stirs up nationalism, the feeling of being a victim, and selfishness. All things that'd bring out more right-wing voters.
