Warsaw – Polish PM Wants Bill Clinton’s Apology For Political Comment

Warsaw – Poland’s prime minister says former U.S. President Bill Clinton should apologize for having said Poles think “democracy is too much trouble” and want to have an “authoritarian dictatorship.”

Prime Minister Beata Szydlo called Clinton’s words “unjustified and simply unfair.” Clinton “exaggerated and should apologize to us,” she told Polish state radio Wednesday.

Speaking in New Jersey in support of wife Hillary’s U.S. presidential campaign, Clinton said Hungary and Poland “have now decided this democracy is too much trouble” and “want (Russian President Vladimir) Putin-like leadership.”

The head of Poland’s conservative ruling party, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, said Clinton is misinformed. He says “if someone says there is no democracy in Poland today, that means he should have a medical test.”
