The Court of State has so far been utilized rarely, but statistic can go up," writes “Gazeta Wyborcza”. The diary adds that the game is about a calibre of charges against NBP president Adam Glapiński. The most crucial of these are two: political commitment and the deficiency of combating inflation.
Adam Glapiński as president of the National Bank of Poland is besides president of the Monetary Policy Council. "The opposition argues, inter alia, that actively participated in the election campaign, taking sides with the outgoing ruling squad and thus broke the principles of central bank independency and apoliticalism," we read.
The Constitution explicitly states that the president of the National Bank of Poland "cannot belong to a political party, a trade union, nor must he carry out public activities which are incompatible with the dignity of his office."
‘The second allegation is that NBP president did not fight inflation“ We keep reading. According to the opposition, this besides qualifies to put Glapiński before the Court of State. Grounds? Article 227 of the Constitution, which states that the NBP is liable for the value of Polish money.

The Court of State for Glapinsky? Step-by-step procedure
The Court of State has a wide scope of possible penalties, specified as the failure of electoral rights, orders or the prohibition of office in state bodies. The Court's judgement is inviolable and is not subject to the President's pardon.
The process of bringing the Court of State before the Court of Justice requires a request from the president or at least 115 Members. The first phase is the examination of the case by the parliamentary committee of constitutional responsibility, where the accused individual can be heard. The committee then assesses arguments and evidence and may question witnesses. If it considers that there are grounds, it recommends the Sejm to bring the suspect before the Court.
The Sejm shall decide by a majority. At the time of the prosecution, the president of the NBP is suspended and the trial is pending before the Court of State. The duration of the trial is uncertain, it can run even for the full word of office of the current president until 2025, and in the event of an extension of the trial, even until 2028, of the end of the word of office of the NBP President.
