Poland Constitutional Crisis: Protester Arrests and Two Ambassadors Resign

The standoff around Poland's Constitutional Tribunal is deepening, with arrests at protests outside the court and two ambassadors resigning.

The constitutional crisis in Poland continues to escalate following the suspension of Constitutional Tribunal President Bogdan Święczkowski, an ally of the former governing party, by Donald Tusk's government. According to reports by G4Media and Calcalist, Święczkowski attempted to enter the court complex despite his suspension, and clashes erupted outside between demonstrators and police forces, who carried out arrests.

Meanwhile, German newspaper Handelsblatt reported that two Polish ambassadors announced their resignations following the escalation, amid deep public division over the restructuring of the judicial institution. Further details regarding the identities of the ambassadors have not yet been released.
