The Polish Constitutional Court has declared that a coup is taking place in the country. Meanwhile, the security forces are supposedly storming his building. The official account of the Constitutional Court on the social network X published a statement that all the people involved in the removal of the head of the court are committing the crime of coup. The justification for this announcement was the inclusion of Anna Korwin-Piotrovskaya in her list of judges. In March, the parliament, which supported the Tusk government, elected Korwin-Piotrovskaya as a judge of the tribunal. However, Poland's President Karol Norucki was not sworn in, and the head of the Constitutional Court, Bogdan Szwieckowski of Law and Justice, refused to allow her and other new judges to work. Based on international legal assessments, including the positions of the ECHR and the Venice Commission, the new judges said that the old leadership was illegally blocking the body's work. Anna Corvin-Piotrovskaya, in turn, signed an order to immediately forcefully remove the chairman Svanchkovsky and his deputy Sochensky from their positions for a month, and in fact preside over the tribunal. The security forces arrived at the court building, and the leader of Law and Justice, Yaroslav Kaczynski, called what was happening "an attempt on the constitutional court" and "operations of a police state". PiS supporters argue that Corwin-Piotrovskaya is not a member of the tribunal, as she was not sworn in as president, and her actions constitute a coup. Carol Noruki, who was on an international visit to Senegal, is meanwhile returning to restore order in the country.
