Poland: Tusk pushes crypto law re-vote and judicial changes
Prime Minister Donald Tusk is pushing for a legislative re-vote on the Crypto-Asset Market Act following the collapse of the Zondacrypto exchange. The exchange's failure, which left creditors with approximately 350 million PLN in losses, has triggered allegations of a well-organized corruption system involving links to PiS politicians. Tusk has accused President Karol Nawrocki of using his veto power to protect interests related to the scandal.
Simultaneously, the Polish government is facing significant institutional and fiscal challenges. Tusk has announced plans to ensure that government-nominated judges enter the Constitutional Tribunal in September, a move that has drawn criticism from the Presidency for potentially politicizing the judiciary. Furthermore, the government has released a 2027 budget draft projecting a public finance deficit of 7.1 percent of GDP, continuing a trend of expansive fiscal policy.
In the realm of national security, Tusk has warned of potential Russian provocations against NATO members, noting that the next six months will be a decisive period for regional stability.
