The head of the European Central Bank, Christine Lagarde, is leaving her position because she wants to have freedom of speech. She stated this on her page on the social network X. "I will leave the ECB in February 2027 because I want to have freedom of speech, freedom of expression and freedom to engage in issues not related to monetary policy." On October 29, Lagarde announced that she would leave her position at the beginning of February 2027. Kirill Dmitriev responded to this message. According to him, the head of the ECB "seems exhausted by the poor decisions of the European Union and its problems."
