Beata Szydlo called Clinton's words "unjustified and simply unfair."
"With all due respect, and without using coarse words (Clinton) exaggerated and should apologize to us," she told Polish state radio on Wednesday.
Speaking in New Jersey in support of wife Hillary's U.S. presidential campaign, Clinton said Hungary and Poland "would not be free" if not for the United States, but "have now decided this democracy is too much trouble."
"They want (Russian President Vladimir) Putin-like leadership. Just give me an authoritarian dictatorship and keep the foreigners out," he said....
A comparison to Putin is especially shocking in Poland, which is very distrustful and critical of his policies.
Clinton was also referring to Warsaw and Budapest protesting European Union plans to redistribute some of the tens of thousands of refugees flooding into Europe and refusing to take in some of them.
The head of Poland's conservative ruling party, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, said Clinton is misinformed.
"If someone says there is no democracy in Poland today, that means he should have a medical test," he said....
Frank Spula, the head of an organization in Chicago representing some 10 million Americans of Polish origin, told Polish state radio that Clinton's words "must sicken anybody who knows the history of Poland and of the Poles."
On Tuesday, Hungary also protested Bill Clinton's words."

Hungary official: US wants Muslim migrants to fill Europe. George Soros is a patron of Bill and Hillary Clinton who are "ready to step up" against against Hungary PM Orban:
5/19/16, "Hungary: US wants to fill Europe with Muslim migrants," AP, Budapest, Hungary (via Daily Mail)
"President Barack Obama and the United States favor illegal migration in Europe because they want to fill it up with Muslims, the chief of staff of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban said Thursday.
Janos Lazar also described Hungarian-born American financier George Soros as a standard-bearer for Obama's immigration policies for Europe and said "certain American groups" want Europe to be "diluted" so Europe and America can cooperate without restraint."...
Lazar called Soros a patron of former U.S. President Bill Clinton and Hillary Clinton, the current U.S. presidential candidate, and a Democratic Party supporter who was "ready to step up" against Orban.
"Not so long ago while visiting Europe, President Obama clearly spoke out in favor of the importance of migration, settlement and even the forced settlement (of migrants)," Lazar said at a news conference. Obama and America "are following a very strong pro-migration, pro-illegal migration policy in the interests of having as many Muslims as possible in Europe."...
"Our conviction is that the borders of Europe have to be defended," Lazar said. "If the countries of Europe need immigration, it can be possible only in a limited, controlled manner."...

Added: For the record, the definition of genocide:
Ongoing population transfers in Hungary and other countries easily fit Lemkin's definition of genocide:
"The crime of genocide is defined in the "Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of Genocide.""...
"Raphael Lemkin in his masterpiece "Axis Rule in Occupied Europe" (1943) invented the term "genocide" by combining "genos" (race, people) and "cide" (to kill). Lemkin defined genocide as follows:
"Generally speaking, genocide does not necessarily mean the immediate destruction of a nation, except when accomplished by mass killings of all members of a nation.
It is intended rather to signify a coordinated plan of different actions aiming at the destruction of essential foundations of the life of national groups with the aim of annihilating the groups themselves. The objectives of such a plan would be the disintegration of the political and social institutions, of culture, language, national feelings, religion, and the economic existence of national groups, and the destruction of the personal security, liberty, health, dignity, and even the lives of the individuals belonging to such groups."" from Genocide Watch
