National Bank of Poland Governor Adam Glapiński is facing intense criticism and anger from the Law and Justice (PiS) party after President Karol Nawrocki appointed new members to the central bank's board on November 5. PiS members have reportedly used strong language, including 'traitor,' to describe Glapiński's actions, signaling significant political fallout from the recent appointments.
Adding to the country's challenges, Poland has received an economic warning, while a new CBOS poll indicates that the Civic Coalition (KO) is dominating, Law and Justice is declining, and Confederation is gaining support. In a notable international development, a major world power is reportedly preparing to send soldiers and weapons to Poland for the first time.
The ongoing Constitutional Tribunal crisis appears to be shifting, with reports that the Law and Justice party is ending its protests related to the court.
