Polish president turns back from Senegal trip as top court chief suspended
- On Friday, Polish President Karol Nawrocki turned his plane back from Senegal, stating "At a moment like this, the President must be in Poland" after police entered the Constitutional Tribunal and suspended its leadership.
- Earlier this year, gridlock over judicial appointments paralyzed the Constitutional Tribunal when Nawrocki refused to swear in parliament-nominated judges while Bogdan Swieczkowski blocked others from assuming their duties.
- Police entered the Constitutional Tribunal on Friday following incidents involving thrown objects at officers, while the court's website announced around 6 p.m. the suspension of Swieczkowski and detained three protesters.
- Prime Minister Tusk defended the operation, writing "Restoring the rule of law is our obligation," while former Justice Minister Zbigniew Ziobro called it a "blatant, criminal attack on the constitutional order."
- The Constitutional Tribunal has been a major point of contention between the current pro-European government and opposition PiS, with critics accusing the former government of imposing political control over judicial institutions.
