Polish ruling coalition moves to put central bank governor on trial
Quick Glance: Motion to Bring Polish Central Bank Chief Before Tribunal
  • Polish lawmakers will submit a motion to bring the central bank chief before the State Tribunal, as part of a broader effort by the government to hold accountable those accused of wrongdoing.

  • Governor Adam Glapinski is accused of lacking independence from the previous government, breaking constitutional rules, and misleading the finance ministry about the bank's financial results. The process to remove Glapinski could be lengthy, as the motion must be investigated by a parliamentary commission before going to a full chamber vote.

  • Christine Lagarde, head of the European Central Bank, warned Glapinski in a letter that any such move could be referred to the EU's top court as it might impact the central bank's independence.

  • Glapinski defends his work, emphasizing that quantitative easing was crucial to save the largest economy in the east of the European Union during the pandemic. Investigations could start in April, after an Easter break, according to deputy head of the commission, Dariusz Jonski.

Quick Glance: Poland recalls Eurocorps leader amidst inquiry
  • Following an investigation by the Polish Military Counterintelligence Service (SKW), Poland has removed the commander of the Eurocorps.

  • The defense ministry announced on Wednesday afternoon that Gromadziński was recalled from Strasbourg immediately due to inspection proceedings initiated by the SKW regarding his security clearance.

  • Subsequently, Lieutenant General Piotr Błazeusz was appointed as Gromadziński’s replacement to lead the Eurocorps.

  • Reports suggested that EU and NATO allies were not informed in advance of Gromadziński’s recall, a claim refuted by Poland’s current defense minister, Władysław Kosiniak-Kamysz.

Quick Glance: EU Unlocks €137 Billion for Poland: von der Leyen in Warsaw
  • During a visit to meet Prime Minister Donald Tusk in Warsaw, Ursula von der Leyen, the commission’s president, announced that the European Commission will unblock up to €137 billion (600 billion zloty) in EU funds frozen over rule-of-law concerns under the previous government.

  • The frozen funds, nearly €60 billion from the EU’s post-pandemic recovery fund and €76 billion in cohesion funds, stemmed from the judicial reforms of the government of the national-conservative Law and Justice (PiS) party, which exerted greater political control over the courts.

  • This week, Poland’s justice minister Adam Bodnar presented in Brussels a package of 10 bills aimed at restoring the rule of law in Poland, impacting key institutions such as the Supreme Court and the Constitutional Tribunal.

  • As part of its post-pandemic National Recovery Plan, Poland is set to receive €59.8 billion, comprising €25.3 billion in grants and €34.5 billion in preferential loans. The initial payment is expected to be €6.3 billion.
