Coup reportedly underway in Poland
BRICSinfo’s post reports on escalating tensions at Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal, where a government-backed judge suspended the PiS-aligned president Bogdan Święczkowski, prompting opposition accusations of a Coup and heavy police deployment outside the court.
BRICS News The crisis stems from a long-running battle between PM Donald Tusk’s pro-EU government seeking judicial reforms and President Karol Nawrocki (PiS ally), who refused to swear in parliament-nominated judges, paralyzing the institution. President Nawrocki cut short a trip to Senegal, returned to Warsaw, and forced his way into the court building amid protests and scuffles, with both sides trading claims of illegality and violations of constitutional order.
