Poland's Judiciary Shields Central Bank Governor from Parliamentary Scrutiny

Poland's Constitutional Tribunal has ruled that lawmakers are not permitted to question the head of the country's central bank, Adam Glapinski.

This decision comes amid growing tensions between the government and the judiciary, which the current administration accuses of being politically aligned with its predecessors. The ruling is seen as a move to protect the independence of the National Bank of Poland, but it also escalates the conflict between the government and the court. Critics argue this could undermine democratic checks and balances by limiting parliamentary oversight of key financial institutions.

The situation highlights the ongoing struggle over the separation of powers and the independence of the judiciary in Poland.
