“The law, when it comes to central bank independence, provides a very high level of protection for the independence of the National Bank of Poland,” said Dr. Rafał Sura on TVP Info.
A member of the NBP board of directors referred to the attacks on President Adam Glapiński.
The law, when it comes to the independence of the central bank, both national legislation, in particular the Polish Constitution, and the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union, in particular the Statute of the European Central Bank, ensure a very high standard to protect the independence of the National Bank of Poland. An independent central bank is the basis of a market economy. Therefore, it is not possible that in a democratic state governed by law, where a market economy functions, responsible politicians would make such clear attacks on the independence of the central bank, on the president and on the president.
– he said.
All accusations in the public space regarding President Glapiński are independent of legal conditions and politically inspired.
– he argued.
State court?
When asked about the plan to bring President Glapiński before the State Tribunal, he replied:
Every parliamentarian, every Member of Parliament in accordance with art. 104 of the Constitution takes the oath. One of the expressions in this oath is yes, so that he will serve the interests of the Republic of Poland. Therefore, adopting such a motion in the Sejm – I would like to remind you that this requires a majority of 231 votes – would be an action against the financial interests of the Republic of Poland and I believe that this will not happen .
