Mass demonstrations broke out in Poland following the replacement of the leadership of the Constitutional Court - the opposition party "Law and Solidarity" called what was happening a "coup", and Prime Minister Donald Tusk called it "restoring the rule of law". - President Karol Noruki cut short his foreign visit and returned to Poland. He entered the Constitutional Court building, and overcame the resistance of the police at the entrance. On Friday evening, the Constitutional Court (CT) was sealed off by the police and the state security service. Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska announced the suspension of the powers of the chairman of the CT, Bogdan Shwiechkowski, and his deputy, Bartolomeo Sochanski. Korwin-Piotrowska motivated the decision by saying that Svanczakovski and Sohanski are obstructing the work of the tribunal by not allowing the four judges chosen by the CM to participate in the meetings. Referring to the existing law regarding the organization and operating procedure of the CT, Korwin-Piotrovskaya appointed herself the temporary chairman of the tribunal. At the same time, the Prosecutor General of Poland, Voldemort Zurek, said that he had sent petitions to the CT to remove the judicial immunity from Swiczkowski and Suchenski. He noted that these materials are "very bulky"; The petition includes 224 pages, and the materials of the case against the defendants amount to 50 volumes. On the official page of the Constitutional Court on the X network, they called what was happening a "coup", declared an illegal seizure of the CT site, and that Corvin-Piotrovskaya is not an active judge of the CT. Prime Minister Donald Tusk called what was happening "restoring the rule of law". "After several years of lawlessness under the rule of the Law and Justice Party, this process is not easy, sometimes painful and requires decisive action. There is no other way," Donald Tusk wrote in X. In response to the events, President Karol Noruki cut short his visit to Senegal and returned to Poland.
