Marcin Zaborski

Abstract

The author analyzes the parliamentary campaign in Poland in 2011 and investigates politicians' opinions about Germany and German people. He poses a question of the contexts in which this theme emerged. He attemps to define whether the candidates were referring more frequently to past events and history or to plans for the future. The research conducted by the author revealed that in comparison to the previous campaigns year 2011 brought a noticeable change in political agenda. Similarly to the earlier pre-election seasons's discussions about Germany there was hints about the past and historical issues however there was a relatively substantial amount of narrative dedicated to present problems in Polish-German relations especially in the context of the economy.
