The leadership of Poland's Constitutional Court announced a "coup" after an attempt to oust the chairman and his deputy. In Poland, the ongoing conflict over the leadership of the Constitutional Court (TK) escalated on October 30. Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska's order on the temporary suspension of the chairman of the court Bohdan Shwiczkowski and his deputy Bartlomiej Suchenski appeared on the department's website. Korwin-Piotrovskaya announced that she is taking over the leadership of the court as the judge with the most experience. She cited, in particular, the reasons for the impeachment as preventing access to the work of several judges, violations in the composition of judicial committees and problems in approving the 2027 budget. The TC leadership did not recognize these decisions. On the court's official account, X announced the illegal seizure of the institution's website, questioned Corvin-Piotrovskaya's status as a judge and called what was happening a "coup". The legality of the suspension remains controversial. As Rezpospolita writes, the decision on the further removal of Schweichkovsky and Sohansky should be made by a disciplinary court. At the same time, the Attorney General of Poland, Voldemort Zurek, sent five petitions to the court to remove judicial immunity: four in relation to Swiczkowski and one in relation to Suchenski. Attached to them are 50 volumes of case materials. After the publication of the order, reinforced police squads appeared near the court building in Warsaw. The police explained that they had received inquiries from the prosecutor's office and from Corvin-Piotrovskaya regarding possible threats to the safety of judges and employees. The law enforcement officials claim that they are maintaining public order and did not enter the court building itself. Against the background of what is happening, President Karol Noruki announced that he is interrupting his trip to Senegal and returning to Poland. The conflict concerns the ongoing dispute over the appointment of Constitutional Court judges.
