##### Polish constitutional crisis
# Polish police enter the Constitutional Tribunal following the suspension of its president Bogdan Święczkowski, announced by judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska. The tribunal describes the suspension as a coup d'état, while three protesters in support of PiS are detained after breaching the tribunal's fence. 

Police were deployed outside Poland's Constitutional Tribunal following security warnings. Tribunal President Bogdan Święczkowski was suspended from his duties, while Polish President Karol Nawrocki cut short his trip to Senegal. #EuropeNews
