Poland: The constitutional crisis is escalating President Karol Norucki held a secret meeting overnight at the Constitutional Court until 5 am, with the participation of the President of the Supreme Court and the ousted deputy judges. He left through a back entrance. Noruki refused to recognize certain judges, with Chief Chancellor Boguki accusing them of attempting a coup. Judge Anna Corwin-Piotrowska defended their position. Member of Parliament Eva Zajczakowska-Hernik demanded that Prime Minister Donald Tuskes immediately resign from all security services. Tusk's office accused him of destabilizing the country by deploying thousands of police officers to Warsaw ahead of All Saints' Day. Critics say he is turning Poland into a "banana republic."
