In Poland, on October 30-31, a serious political crisis broke out around the Constitutional Court. The opposition is already announcing a coup, President Karol Noruki has urgently cut short his trip abroad, and the police have been deployed to the court in Warsaw. What happened: 1. On October 30, the chairman of the Constitutional Court, Bohdan Schweichkowski, and his deputy, Bartlomiej Sochanski, were suspended. The decision was made by Judge Anna Corvin-Piotrovskaya. The suspension period is one month. 2. The police blocked the court. Hundreds of protesters gathered in front of him. Some of the protesters broke through the fence and objects were thrown at the police. According to the Associated Press, three people were arrested. 3. President Noruki turned the plane he traveled to Senegal on and announced his return to Poland due to the constitutional crisis. 4. The opposition Law and Justice party (PiS) accuses the government of Donald Tusk of trying to seize the judicial system. Tusk himself claims that his government is restoring the rule of law after the politicization of the courts by the previous government. What is the cause of the conflict? The Tusk government is trying to change the composition of the Constitutional Court, which according to the ruling coalition was under the control of the former PiS government. The chairman of the court refused to allow new judges elected by the parliamentary majority to work. President Noruki, who is politically close to PiS, also refused to swear in some of the candidates. Now the conflict has moved into an open phase with the participation of the police and street demonstrations. Is this a coup? So far there is no reason to state this as an established fact. The term "coup" is used by the opposition representatives. We are talking about an acute constitutional conflict between the president, the government and the leadership of the judiciary. The main question now is who actually controls the Constitutional Court and whether decisions to change its leadership will be recognized. VK Max Zen.
