German Press Slams Poland and Britain After Summit

The German press on Sunday slammed Poland and Britain for putting obstacles on the road to the deal reached on guidelines for a new European Union treaty at the bloc's summit this week.

Bild, the mass-circulation tabloid and country's top selling newspaper, reserved its harshest criticism for neighboring Poland, calling the Kaczynski twins who hold the posts of Polish president and prime minister "poison dwarves." Welt am Sonntag described the haggling that preceded the deal as "torture" and said despite its eventual success the summit will be remembered mostly for Britain and Poland's "egotistical" behavior.

"Poland has failed to understand that the point of the European Union is to bury the hatred we inherited," the newspaper commented.
