🚨🇵🇱 BREAKING: Police raid Polish Constitutional Tribunal as PM Donald Tusk's government moves against its president, in what opponents are calling an illegal coup d'état. • Police entered the premises of Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal in Warsaw on Friday and the court’s president, Bogdan Święczkowski, was suspended, in the latest escalation of a long-running dispute over the institution. • Officers said they moved in after incidents outside the court, including the throwing of dangerous objects at police. The tribunal confirmed the suspension of its president on its website. • President Karol Nawrocki turned his plane around mid-flight and aborted a trip to Senegal, stating on X: “At a moment like this, the President must be in Poland. I am cutting short my flight to Senegal. I am returning.” • Opposition leader Jarosław Kaczyński has described the police action as a “coup” against the Constitutional Tribunal involving services under the government of pro-EU Prime Minister Donald Tusk. • The tribunal is the body responsible for ensuring legislation complies with the Polish Constitution.
