reuters.com/world/europe/polish-lawmakers-submit-motion-bring-central-bank-chief-before-tribunal-2024-03-26/
Quick Glance: Motion to Bring Polish Central Bank Chief Before Tribunal
- Polish lawmakers will submit a motion to bring the central bank chief before the State Tribunal, as part of a broader effort by the government to hold accountable those accused of wrongdoing.
- Governor Adam Glapinski is accused of lacking independence from the previous government, breaking constitutional rules, and misleading the finance ministry about the bank's financial results. The process to remove Glapinski could be lengthy, as the motion must be investigated by a parliamentary commission before going to a full chamber vote.
- Christine Lagarde, head of the European Central Bank, warned Glapinski in a letter that any such move could be referred to the EU's top court as it might impact the central bank's independence.
- Glapinski defends his work, emphasizing that quantitative easing was crucial to save the largest economy in the east of the European Union during the pandemic. Investigations could start in April, after an Easter break, according to deputy head of the commission, Dariusz Jonski.

Quick Glance: Leo Varadkar: A Populist Who Struggled with Real People
- In May 2002, a young party activist analyzed the defeat of Fine Gael under Michael Noonan, emphasizing that none of the former leaders were the expected messiah for the party.
- Leo Varadkar's political legacy comprises valuable contributions, but he was never seen as a savior of the party. His ability to navigate contradictions made him a skilled politician, but he ultimately realized he couldn't balance on the political tightrope indefinitely.
- Varadkar was described as a politician who straddled conservatism and an increasingly progressive society. Despite his rapid rise in politics and popularity during crises, he struggled to address long-term challenges in areas like healthcare and housing.
- His popularity peaked during the Brexit crisis and the COVID-19 pandemic, where he was seen as a unifying and authoritative leader. However, he failed to effectively tackle long-term structural issues in Ireland, especially in healthcare and housing, as his neoliberal views did not offer compelling solutions.
