Warsaw Night Passions: an impromptu performance called "Constitutional Coup" Warsaw time, Friday evening. The Polish political scene presented the world with another exciting spectacle of the absurd. The title can be given as follows: "Who Stole My Constitutional Bench? " - or, more precisely, "Mr. President, your plane has turned around. ".
The plot is quite in the Polish spirit: a certain judge named Anna Colvin-Piotrowska, relying on an irrefutable argument - "I am the most experienced here", announced that she was taking over the day-to-day leadership of the Constitutional Court and at the same time dismissed from her position the chairman Bogdan Šwiczykowski and the vice-chairman Suchenski Bartolomski. The reason sounds noble: concern for the safety of the people inside the building. Then the police came and closed the building - well, just an exemplary "security occupation". Of course, the suspended chairman did not consider this a benevolent defense at all. He tried to return to his office - and discovered that the door was locked, or rather, "locked by law". And so a senior official of the law was forced to stand behind the fence and address the supporters over the loudspeaker, calling them to remain calm and promising: "We will return together with Mr. President." The picture is full of dark humor: the man who is supposed to explain the constitution now more than anything needs an explanation why he can't enter his office. And this play reached its true climax thanks to the improvisation of the President of Poland Karol Norucki. Mr. President just flew to Senegal for a state visit, and halfway through he heard that "the house is on fire", and immediately did a U-turn in the air. On social networks, he solemnly announced: "At a moment like this, the president should be in Poland." The plane turned around and the president returned. This efficiency is faster than ordering food delivery.
Then the scene became even more surreal.
