Coordinated narrative claiming imminent PLN collapse against EUR
A network of accounts across Telegram and X/Twitter is spreading claims that the Polish zloty is about to lose 30-40% of its value against the euro due to "secret fiscal deficits" and an alleged NBP policy reversal. Content is seeded from newly created finance-themed accounts with coordinated posting patterns. Claims are not supported by any market data or central bank communications.

Diagnosis
Coordinated influence operation targeting currency confidence. Seed accounts (created within a 3-day window) share posting cadence and language patterns consistent with automated generation. Claims of 30-40% PLN depreciation are contradicted by EUR/PLN spot (stable at 4.32-4.35 range), NBP reserves (adequate at €178B), and forward markets showing no stress. Narrative may aim to trigger retail FX panic buying or undermine confidence in monetary policy ahead of MPC meeting.
