Poland's President Noruki aborts trip to Senegal as police deploy to Constitutional Court amid leadership crisis President Karol Noruki cut short his flight to Senegal and ordered his plane to return to Poland after police entered the grounds of the Constitutional Court (TK) and the courts' website announced the suspension of the president and his vice president. Noruki published in X: "At a moment like this, the president must be in Poland. I am cutting short my flight to Senegal. I'm coming back." The Warsaw police said that the police officers perform statutory duties on the grounds of the court (but not inside the building) after incidents outside, including objects thrown at the police officers. Three people who jumped the fence were arrested. The deployment followed a request by TK judge Anna Corwin-Pietroska, citing risks to the lives and health of judges and staff and the possibility of public disorder, as well as a request from the Attorney General regarding security amid ongoing protests. At the same time, the courts' website published the order suspending President Bogdan Shvichkovsky and Vice President Bartlomiej Sochanski. The official account of Court X claimed that the site was illegally taken over, called the events a "coup", and stated that Schwiczkowski remained president. According to reports, the vice president was refused entry to the building. Opposition figures, including PiS leader Jarosławkacznaski, described the police presence as an attack or "coup" at the court by services under Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government. The government frames its actions as restoring the rule of law in a long-standing dispute over the composition of the courts and legitimacy.
