The President of Poland accused the Prime Minister of an attempted coup. Clashes between police officers and protesters broke out in the Constitutional Court, what happened? Today, the judge of the Constitutional Court, Anna Korwin-Piotrovska, ordered the removal of the chairman of the court, Bogdan Shwiechkowski, and the deputy chairman, Bartolomeo Sochanski, from their positions. Korwin-Piotrovskaya stated that they prevented the assembly of the tribunal with the participation of all judges, which is why the tribunal could not make decisions. After that, disgruntled people began to gather near the Constitutional Court building. They tried to enter the court premises. Corwin-Piotruska informed the police "about a threat to the lives or health of the judges", so the security forces came to the court. The police emphasized that they did not enter the court building, but only surrounded it in order to ensure security. The protesters started throwing "dangerous objects" at the security forces, and then brought a grinder, cut the chain at the gate and tried to enter the court building. Together with them tried to enter the court the suspended judge Shvichkovsky, as well as the head of the Law and Justice party, Yaroslav Kaczynski. The police did not let anyone in. What is the nature of the conflict? The Constitutional Court is the constitutional court of Poland. In 2015, Donald Tusk's Civic Platform party, before leaving power, hastily appointed several judges of the court (they even changed the law on the Constitutional Court for this purpose). The conservative Law and Justice Party won the elections held in October 2015. She canceled the election of judges and appointed her own candidates instead. Thus began the struggle for the Constitutional Court, which continues to this day. Judges usually support the laws of the party that elected them. Therefore, in 2020, for example, the court approved the abortion law, which was preceded by Law and Justice.
