PoliticsPoland’s constitutional court chief suspended amid escalating standoff

Police cordoned off Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal on October 30 after its website announced the suspension of president Bogdan Święczkowski and his deputy. Prime Minister Donald Tusk said restoring the rule of law required decisive action, while the deputy and opposition politicians called the events a “coup.” President Karol Nawrocki cut short his Senegal visit and returned to Poland. The government’s dispute with Law and Justice over the tribunal has lasted months.
