These provisions let the fresh parliamentary majority to be suspended as president of the National Bank of Poland, Adam Glapiński. specified information is derived from unofficial sources, as the Virtual Poland portal states.

We remind you that choice Glapinski for president of NBP held in violation of the law.

Last week, Donald Tusk, leader of the Civic Coalition, announced that the opposition now holds a majority in the Sejm, which allows for proceedings before the Court of State against the president of the National Bank of Poland.

– We are analysing this issue due to the fact that we want to usage this very serious discipline tool for political work in a liable manner, sometimes besides criminal politicians and top-level officers," said Tusk in the Sejm.

– Even suggestions that the president of the NBP could be brought before the Court of State are an assassination of the independency of the central bank," replied interim Prime Minister Mateusz Morawiecki, informing about the intention to mention Adam Glapiński to the Court of State, it was announced that these plans would be transferred to global institutions specified as the global Monetary Fund and the European Central Bank, which is causing them to be concerned. Earlier, the National Bank of Poland itself had already announced defensive action on this issue.

The Sejm may place the president of the National Bank of Poland before the Court of State with an absolute majority of votes.

Proposal for Law and Justice to the Cook-occupied Kaczynski Constitutional Court

The Virtual Poland portal reported on Friday that Members of the Law and Justice organization intend to challenge the provisions on suspension of the president of the National Bank of Poland in the event of prosecution, as well as the provision relating to the request to get an absolute majority to put the head of the bank in specified a situation.

– The request of a group of Members of Law and Justice to the Constitutional Court concerns 2 passages of the Act on the Court of State. In the first part it concerns a provision with Article 11(1), which states that the prosecution of the president of NBP before the Court of State is tantamount to its suspension," said erstwhile president of the Government Legislative Centre to the portal, and present Minister and associate of the Law Office prof. Krzysztof Szczucki. According to PiS, “this is incompatible with the Constitution and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, due to the fact that both acts warrant the independency of the central bank”. "This is connected with the second charge we have against the fact that a ruthless majority in the Sejm is adequate to put the president of the NBP on trial. An absolute majority could be 116 Members. So in fact, the majority of the government can lead to the suspension of the NBP president. In this case, the independency of the central bank cannot be discussed – says Szczucki.

It is worth reminding that the issue of suspension of the president of the National Bank of Poland was discussed in an interview with the Business Insider Polska portal by prof. Ryszard Piotrowski, specialist in constitutional law from the University of Warsaw.

"The president of the NBP is simply a constitutional body which must keep independency from the Sejm. This independency is very closely linked to the fact that in its activities the NBP president is not guided by the interests of the parliamentary majority. Thus, while the president may be prosecuted before the Court of State, that does not mean that he may be suspended in office. The president of the Central Bank is not a individual who can be suspended in office under the Court of State Act," said prof. Piotrowski.

The mandate of Adam Glapiński as president of the National Bank of Poland expires in 2028. In the event of his suspension, these duties will be carried out temporarily by the first NBP Vice-President, Marta Kightley, pending appeal.

The authoritative website of the Constitutional Court published information on the request of Members of the Law and Justice Party, concerning the procedure for holding the Constitutional president of the NBP responsible. The case has already been registered under the K 23/23 signature.
