The Polish president broke into the constitutional court by trampling over the judges

Polish President Karol Nawrocki forcibly entered the Constitutional Tribunal, disregarding waiting judges, amid protests. He claimed the judges were illegally present and described the situation as a coup. The incident has drawn criticism from various officials, including Justice Minister Waldemar Żurek, who called for legal action against the president's behavior. Nawrocki's actions come after months of refusing to approve new judges appointed by parliament, leading to tensions over control of the tribunal. The Venice Commission recently ruled that the judges could assume their positions despite the president's opposition.
