Duda Reportedly Insists On Adoption Of Bill Empowering Him In Foreign Policy

POLAND
  • Wirtualna Polska reported that President Andrzej Duda is pushing for the adoption of a bill which would empower the President in shaping the country's foreign policy. If the legislation is approved, the President would have a greater role in appointing Poland's EU officials and would represent the country in European Council meetings instead of the Prime Minister. According to Wirtualna Polska, the bill may be debated at committee level as soon as this Friday. It would not only secure the President's active support for the ruling coalition ahead of the upcoming parliamentary election, but also hedge their bets in case the current opposition gets to nominate the next Prime Minister.
  • Ruling Law and Justice (PiS) party's senior lawmaker Marek Suski said that he expects the referendum that will likely be held alongside the parliamentary election to contain just one question, which will likely be unveiled during the current parliamentary session. Earlier this week, another PiS lawmaker suggested that the addition of another question, possibly on the primacy of Poland's constitution over EU law, is being considered.
  • Poland's banking lobby (ZBP) said that it has not noticed an upsurge in court cases related to the controversial CHF mortgages in the wake of last month's pro-consumer ruling of the Court of Justice of the European Union (CJEU). The organisation said that currently there is around 135,000 ongoing cases over CHF loans, with the number of (in-court and out-of-court) settlements on the rise.
