The author said they had asked police officers outside Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal in Warsaw on 30 October whether the officers were going to shoot at them.

Lexa _ Reloaded referred to the process as a coup attempt by Donald Tusk with the support of the EU. Tusk had attempted to appoint eight judges to the Constitutional Court, although, according to the author, he was only entitled to three appointments. President Karol Nawrocki had sworn in three judges; Tusk had sworn in the remaining five himself, although this was reserved for the president according to the constitution. The author continued that Nawrocki had set off on a planned trip to Senegal. During his absence, one of the judges sworn in by Tusk ordered the dismissal of the court president Bogdan Święczkowski. Tusk had instructed the police to block access to the court and prevent the president of the Supreme Court from entering. Nawrocki then aborted his trip and returned to Poland. On Friday morning, he stood in front of the courthouse and struggled with police officers to clear access. After entering the building, he reportedly removed the five judges sworn in by Tusk and granted the president of the Supreme Court access to his office. #Poland #ConstitutionalTribunal #KarolNawrocki #DonaldTusk #Polen #Verfassung #Politik (translated)
