Riot Police Surround Poland's Constitutional Court Amid 'Coup' Allegations

Protesters attempted to push through a riot police cordon outside Poland's Constitutional Court in Warsaw amid a political and legal dispute involving Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government and judges appointed under the previous Law and Justice (PiS) administration. The court's social media described the developments as an attempted coup, while Tusk defended his government's actions as an effort to restore the rule of law. President Karol Nawrocki cut short his visit to Senegal and returned to Warsaw.
