The police had to secure the building of the Polish Constitutional Tribunal from the protesters

Polish police intervened at the Constitutional Tribunal amid protests over a conflict between Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government and the ruling Law and Justice party. Tensions escalated after the justice minister sought to suspend the tribunal's president and vice-president for allegedly blocking newly appointed judges. Tusk defended the minister's actions, emphasizing the need to restore the rule of law. The opposition PiS party accused Tusk's government of attempting a coup, leading to protests outside the tribunal. Police reported incidents of violence from protesters, resulting in arrests. The tribunal stated that the judges in question remain legally appointed. Tusk's government faces challenges in reversing PiS's judicial reforms due to presidential vetoes.
