Poland in Chaos: Police enter the Constitutional Court as the President turns the plane around mid-flight A massive political confrontation is taking place in Warsaw tonight, plunging Poland into a constitutional crisis. Police entered the grounds of the Constitutional Court, prompting President Carol Noruki to abruptly cut short his trip to Senegal and turn his plane over Spain to return home. A judge elected by the current parliament, Anna Korwin-Piotrowska, issued an order suspending the president of the court, Bogdan Svejchkovsky, and his deputy for a month. The police moved in shortly after, citing "threats" against the judges and staff. The courts website and the X account appear to have been taken over by rival factions, with officials claiming the site was seized illegally. The leader of PiS, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, calls it a "coup against the Constitutional Court", and declared: "From today, Poland becomes a police state, and from there it is a straight path to authoritarianism. "This is the culmination of a decade-long war on the justice system. Prime Minister Donald Tuskes claims the court was hijacked by the previous PiS administration and should be reset. PiS insists that Tusk is staging an illegal takeover. substack | talk.
