Balcerowicz accuses Sejm deputies of humiliating NBP deputy governor

National Bank of Poland governor Leszek Balcerowicz has made an official complaint about the way the central bank's deputy governor Andrzej Bra tkowski was treated during a Sejm debate on Wednesday. "I'm profoundly shocked at the humiliating way with which deputies treated the represe ntative of a public institution," Balcerowicz wrote in a letter to Sejm speaker Marek Borowski. Bratkowski addressed deputies, speaking slowly and in a weak voice, prompting Samoobrona deputy Kazimierz Wojcik to accuse him of behaving as if he was under the influence of intoxicants. Bogdan Pek from the Polish Peasants Party (PSL) said he had the impression the deputy governor was "indisposed" and accused him of arrogance. Samoobrona leader Andrzej Lepper demanded that Bratkowski should undergo an examination. The Sejm was debating a resolution urging the Monetary Policy Council (RPP) to "change the current policy which has a negative influence on the dynamics of economic growth and is a stumbling block in the fight against unemployment." Bratkowski was appearing before the Sejm to refute the charges. (Rzecz pospolita, p. B1) A.Z.
