She is scheduled to tour the site of the former Nazi German concentration camp of Auschwitz in the company of the Speakers of both houses of Poland’s parliament, the lower house’s Elżbieta Witek and the upper house’s Tomasz Grodzki.
After a visit to Auschwitz, days before the 75th anniversary of the camp’s liberation, the US politician is slated to hold talks with Poland’s Grodzki in the historic city of Kraków.
In a radio interview on Monday, Grodzki described his planned meeting with Pelosi as “semi-private,” adding that it would take place at her request.
He further elaborated that the conversation would not be one-on-one as Pelosi would be accompanied by six Congressmen and he himself by two Polish senators and a former diplomat.
Grodzki disclosed that among those taking part in the meeting in Kraków would be Democratic Congressman Eliot Engel, chairman of the US House Committee on Foreign Affairs.
Grodzki said in his radio interview that Engel, together with another US Democratic Party politician, Bill Keating, chairman of the Subcommittee on Europe, Eurasia, Energy, and the Environment, several days ago addressed a letter to the Polish president in which they expressed serious concern about Poland’s judicial reforms.
