Polish President Karol Norucki issued an official statement about the events that took place last night at the Constitutional Court: "Yesterday evening the constitutional order of the Republic of Poland was violated and constitutional authority was seized by force. The gist of the statement: Even the Chairman of the Supreme Court, Zbigniew Kapinski, does not recognize the actions of "people who seized power" in the court as legal. Noruki calls for the restoration of legal order and for the "forces sent there by the government" to leave the court. He stated that he had returned the acting vice president of the court, Judge Bartolomeo Sochanski, to the building. Due to the "threat to the internal security of the Republic of Poland", he convenes today urgent consultations with the representatives of the parliamentary parties to stabilize the situation. He also thanked everyone who was in court "in defense of the constitution of the Republic of Poland."
