Siege of the court and "coup". What is happening in Poland?

Poland's political crisis escalated as President Karol Nawrocki ordered the return of his plane amid tensions over judicial appointments. The conflict involves the conservative presidency and Donald Tusk's coalition government. A judge announced the temporary removal of the Constitutional Tribunal's president and vice-president, leading to protests and accusations of a coup. Tusk defended the government's actions as necessary for restoring the rule of law, while Nawrocki criticized the legitimacy of the new judges. The EU has urged Poland to ensure the Tribunal's functioning according to constitutional norms. The ongoing dispute reflects deeper issues stemming from judicial reforms initiated by the PiS party since 2015.
