Important context
Poland's special court for public officials (the State Tribunal) can try high‑ranking officials for constitutional violations, but initiating such a proceeding requires a parliamentary vote. The political environment, including tensions between the ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party and the central bank’s perceived independence, is relevant to understanding why this recommendation is being made.
