Warsaw summons French ambassador after Macron calls Polish PM 'a far-right anti-Semite'

France's ambassador to Poland was summoned by the Polish overseas ministry on Friday after Emmanuel Macron accused the nation's prime minister of being a "far-right anti-Semite".

Macron mentioned Polish Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki was "a far-right anti-Semite, who bans the LGBT" in an interview with Le Parisien after having already accused him of "interfering within the French political marketing campaign", pointing to Morawiecki's closeness to French far-right presidential candidate Marine Le Pen.

Morawiecki had earlier this week criticised the French president's a number of hours of telephone calls with Vladimir Putin.

"President Macron, what number of instances have you ever negotiated with Putin? What have you ever achieved?" the Polish premier mentioned. “Would you negotiate with Hitler, with Stalin, with Pol Pot?”

The Polish authorities spokesman on Friday referred to as President Macron's remarks "incomprehensible" and blamed them on the "political feelings that accompany each election marketing campaign".

“Nevertheless, at current, speaking in regards to the prime minister of the Polish authorities within the context of anti-Semitism is, fairly merely, a lie, it has nothing to do with the info,” Piotr Müller informed reporters.

“I hope this election marketing campaign in France will relax a bit, after which the President of France will converse otherwise and actually follow historic info,” he added.
