Polish President Karol Norucki turned his plane around mid-flight and canceled a trip to Senegal as a major political crisis erupted around the Constitutional Court in Warsaw. The police entered the court grounds after clashes with protesters, while the court announced the suspension of its president, Bogdan Shwiachkovsky. Noruki said he repeats that "the president must be in Poland" at such a moment. Opposition leaders condemned the move as an attempted coup, while Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government says it is restoring constitutional order.
