A coup has begun in Poland": The police blocked the Constitutional Court against the background of worsening political crisis, the police blocked the construction of the Constitutional Court, and on its website a notice appeared on the suspension of the powers of the chairman Bohdan Sonczkowski and his deputy. President Karol Noruki cut short his visit to Senegal ahead of time and is returning to Poland. The leader of the opposition PiS party, Jaroslaw Kaczynski, accused the government of "hijacking the court" and warned of the threat of turning the country into a police state. Prime Minister Donald Tusk, on the contrary, said that restoring the rule of law is the government's responsibility, even if the process is painful. The conflict has continued since 2023 and escalated due to the appointment of new judges: the president refused to swear in four of the six candidates chosen by the parliament.
