The BoE is independent but he was pro-remain; he stepped over the line and into politics. It was not simply openness, it was bias.
Theresa May stated that there were “bad side effects” from the Bank of England’s loose monetary policy. A clear case of a born-again Brexiter wanting her cake and eating it as well. Fortunately, Dr Carney's reaction to this criticism was quite modest, restrained and non-adversarial, "it can be difficult sometimes if there are political comments on our policies”.
He continues to comment on the economy as that's one reason why he was chosen for the post. If you expect him to sugar-coat every item of economic news or kick bad news under the carpet then he's not your man.

Like the rest of the embittered moaners in the Remain camp, he cannot believe that on June 23 people knew exactly what they were voting for and did so with glad hearts, despite the lies of a snobbish metropolitan elite.

Can you explain what the 51.9% were voting for? How much immigration was it for? How much budget contribution to the EU was it for? How much free trade with the EU was it for? How much increased weekly contribution to the NHS?
