Poland's top court has ruled that lawmakers cannot question the central bank chief, Adam Glapinski, heightening tensions between the government and judiciary.
This decision has spurred a clash between Prime Minister Donald Tusk's pro-European coalition and judges deemed political appointees from the previous nationalist administration.
Despite allegations against Glapinski for breaching central bank independence, he claims the accusations are unfounded. The Constitutional Tribunal supported the view, citing that parliamentary control over the central bank would violate its independence. Tusk's administration argues for judicial reform, contending the court's decisions lack legitimacy.
