Head of Polish central bank to be put on trial, says Tusk

Poland’s left-liberal government is now looking to indict the head of Poland’s central bank, a move opposed by the European Central Bank (ECB).

Poland’s Prime Minister Donald Tusk confirmed on Tuesday that a motion to indict the head of the central bank (NBP), Adam Glapiński, was ready and would soon be brought before parliament. Tusk noted that prosecuting Glapiński was one of the promises his party made to the electorate in last year’s parliamentary elections. 

Tusk’s party has repeatedly accused Glapiński of failing in the fight against inflation, of politicizing the central bank, and of illegally supporting the state budget.

Meanwhile, attorney Bartosz Lewandowski from the Ordo Iuris Process Intervention Center points out that the real reason behind the desire to remove Adam Glapiński from the NBP is to enable the introduction of the euro in Poland. This is said to be in the interest of the German economy, which has been in poor condition since the outbreak of the war between Russia and Ukraine.
