The Speaker of the Sejm, Poland’s lower house of parliament, has submitted a preliminary motion to the Constitutional Responsibility Committee to bring Adam Glapiński, the president of the National Bank of Poland (NBP), before the State Tribunal.

Poland’s lower house speaker has said he has forwarded a preliminary motion to the Constitutional Responsibility Committee to bring the Polish central bank’s chief before the State Tribunal.

The Speaker of Poland’s lower house of parliament (the Sejm) has announced that despite a recent ruling by the Constitutional Tribunal, the motion to bring the head of the country’s central bank before the State Tribunal will proceed according to legal procedures.

The current government is claiming Glapiński cut interest rates ahead of last October’s election to give Law and Justice (PiS) a boost in the polls.

A group of MPs has filed a motion with the Polish lower house of parliament (Sejm), seeking to bring the head of Poland’s central bank before the State Tribunal. They allege that he violated both the law and the Polish Constitution.

On Tuesday, Donald Tusk, the Polish prime minister, said the motion was ready and would be filed with the court in the coming days.
