Flash: Poland's president turned his plane around mid-flight and returned to Warsaw as riot police surround the Constitutional Court and rival judges dispute control of the court. Carol Noruki went to Senegal when he canceled the visit. "At a moment like this, the president must be in Poland," he said. This comes after Anna Korwin-Piotrowska announced the suspension of the president of the court Bogdan Shwiachkowski and his deputy, Bartlomiej Sochanski. A statement appeared on the courts website, while its official X account dismissed the move, saying both men remained in their posts and accusing those involved of staging a "coup". The account also claims that the takeover of the site itself was illegal. After that, the confrontation moved to the gates. In the footage shared by Mario Naufal, it appears that Swiczkowski is trying to regain access to him after the chains were cut off, as the police continue to block his way. Protesters gathered outside, and three people were arrested after trying to enter the compound. The police said that their deployment followed warnings of threats to judges and staff, and claimed that the officers were securing the area without entering the building. Inside, Corwin-Piotrowska confirmed that seven judges were present. A spokeswoman for the courts said they were escorted in by State Protection Service officers through a gate connecting the grounds to the Prime Minister's Chancellery. Outside, opposition leader Jaroslaw Kaczynski accused the government of turning Poland into a police state, while Supreme Court Chief Justice Zbigniew Kapinski also described the developments as a coup. Nofal then reported that the Norukis convoy was on its way to meet Kapinski. The dispute follows months of impasse over parliamentary appointments that Noruki refused to complete and Swiczkowski refused to recognize. Minister of Justice Waldemar Zork has now asked to remove the immunity of the court leadership.
