Poland spent the weekend flirting with a coup You must have heard about the chaos in Poland in the last few days. If you're still wondering what happened, here's a quick overview: on October 30, the suspension of the president of the Constitutional Court and his deputy was announced. Demonstrations broke out in Warsaw that day and opposition supporters gathered outside the court to protest an illegal takeover of the court. Some tried to break through police barriers, objects were thrown at the police and three people were arrested. President Carol Nawrocki turned his plane around mid-flight to Senegal. After hearing about the suspension and deployment of the police, he flew straight back to Warsaw. He arrived at the court at around 01:00 on October 31 and got into a physical confrontation as he forced his way into the building. Noruki confronted the newly appointed judges, telling them they were illegally taking over the tribunal. He helped the suspended vice president regain access to the building before leaving around 5 a.m. Donald Tusk insists his government has restored judicial independence. Noruki, meanwhile, says the country's constitutional order has been violated. The opposition calls this night an attempted coup.
