Prime Minister Tusk's security forces occupy the court, Poland is becoming a police state, opposition leader Kaczynski said. Poland's Constitutional Court has accused government officials of illegally seizing state institutions. The reason was another round of conflict surrounding the leadership of the court: on October 30, its chairman Bogdan Sonchakovsky was suspended from his position for a month. There were also clashes around the court, and the police arrived to maintain order. President Carol Noruki cut short his trip to Senegal and returned to Israel. The conflict is related to the appointment of new judges: the president and the parliamentary majority disagree about the procedure for approving them. The parties accuse each other of violating constitutional norms.
