Poland's Constitutional Tribunal Faces Crisis Amid Suspension and Police Deployment
Poland faces a constitutional crisis after police cordoned off the Constitutional Tribunal in Warsaw following the suspension of its president, Bogdan Święczkowski, by Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska. The suspension, amid accusations of obstructing legally appointed judges, intensified tensions between Prime Minister Donald Tusk's pro-European government and opposition forces linked to the previous nationalist administration. Protests erupted, and President Karol Nawrocki cut short an overseas trip to return amid the unrest. The Tribunal described the events as an "illegal takeover" and "coup d'état," while police detained several protesters.
