Tensions around the Polish Constitutional Tribunal, President Nawrocki's plane returns

The Polish riot police cleared and cordoned off the area around the Constitutional Tribunal amid protests against the suspension of its president, Bogdan Swiczkowski. Demonstrators clashed with police, leading to several arrests. The political conflict over judicial appointments escalated as Swiczkowski, appointed by the previous PiS government, opposed Prime Minister Tusk's efforts to restore the rule of law. Tusk's coalition aims to reverse PiS policies, while the Constitutional Tribunal's independence is questioned due to political interference. Tusk emphasized the need to restore the rule of law, while opponents labeled the government's actions as a coup. President Nawrocki returned from abroad due to the crisis, highlighting the political tensions surrounding the tribunal.
