Poland Parliament Considers Tribunal for Central Bank Governor Glapiński
What happened
Poland's lower house will vote in the second half of November on whether to bring Adam Glapiński before a state tribunal. This follows a parliamentary commission's investigation since May 2024, which recommended the tribunal. The accusations allege that Glapiński violated the constitution and statutes by indirectly financing the budget deficit through asset purchases in 2020-21 without proper authorization, and politicizing the central bank. Adam Glapiński denies the accusations, and the central bank states they are "completely unfounded."
