Story summary

On October 30, 2026, Polish President Karol Nawrocki turned back his plane en route to Senegal after the government suspended the president and vice-president of Poland's top court, the Constitutional Tribunal. The suspensions led to a political crisis, with police entering the premises of the court amid protests outside in Warsaw. This move was seen as an attempt by the current government to assert control over the judiciary, which is aligned with the opposition Law and Justice (PiS) party. The president's decision to return underscores the severity of the situation, as it follows months of disputes over judicial appointments and the rule of law in Poland.
