"A coup is happening in Poland" — Vice-Chairman of the Constitutional Court

At the same time, the police received a letter from a tribunal judge stating the likelihood of "threats to the life and health of judges and staff of the Constitutional Tribunal." As reported by Onet, the letter was sent by Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska. Former Polish Minister of Justice Zbigniew Ziobro called the events a "coup." This is not an isolated opinion. "A coup is happening in Poland," also stated Vice-Chairman of the Constitutional Tribunal Bartłomiej Sochański, as reported by Rzeczpospolita. Polish President Karol Nawrocki abruptly interrupted his trip to Senegal and is returning to the country. "At such a moment, the president must be in Poland. I am interrupting my flight to Senegal. I am returning," he wrote on X. "Restoring the rule of law is our duty. After many years of lawlessness (by the Law and Justice party (PiS)), this is a complex, sometimes painful process that requires decisive action. There is no other way," stated Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
