As the 'leaked recordings' scandal grows in Poland, the Prime Minister has taken a dramatic step and called for a vote of confidence ahead of crucial meetings in Brussels. As Bloomberg reports, Polish Prime Minister Donald Tusk says he needs mandate to rule on eve of talks in EU, he tells parliament; adding that the taping scandal erupted after government took serious steps against importers and distributors of coal and also comes in “context” of people involved in gas trading. The Polish Zloty has given up its earlier gains on this news.

It seems the conspiracy runs deep:
The taping scandal erupted after government took serious steps against importers and distributors of coal and also comes in “context” of people involved in gas trading, Prime Minister Donald Tusk tells lawmakers.
He also says in parliament:
• Business context of Polish taping scandal is “very disturbing”
• Scandal was aimed to weaken Poland’s influence on EU policy making
• Illegal eavesdropping took 1-1/2 yrs and affected hundreds of people
