## Summary

A late-night dispute at Poland’s Constitutional Tribunal has intensified a long-running conflict over whether Prime Minister Donald Tusk’s government is restoring judicial independence or exceeding its constitutional powers. The tribunal suspended its president, Bogdan Święczkowski, prompting protests and sharp accusations from political opponents, while other observers say the court’s problems predate Tusk’s government.

The confrontation led President Karol Nawrocki to cut short a trip to Senegal, and police detained three people after clashes with demonstrators. At least three Polish ambassadors have resigned in protest, including the country’s UN representative, according to an official in the president’s office. The article describes a years-long dispute over judicial appointments and reports differing views on the legality and purpose of the government’s actions.
