Riot police were deployed to Warsaw's constitutional court after a judge suspended the chief justice, per The Guardian. The move has triggered a major political crisis in Poland.

Police secured the top court as the government suspended its chief, Bloomberg reports. The president turned back from a trip to Senegal amid escalating tensions, Haaretz notes.

Opposition parties have called for protests outside the constitutional tribunal, while accusations of a 'coup' have emerged, Al Jazeera reports. The crisis has sparked nationwide unrest.

The political showdown continues as Poland's leadership faces mounting pressure, with international observers watching closely. The situation remains fluid, per Politico.
