What happened

Polish President Karol Nawrocki called urgent talks with all parliamentary parties on Saturday after a night of clashes between protesters and police outside the Constitutional Tribunal in Warsaw, El Nacional reported.

Nawrocki cut short an official trip to Senegal, entered the building after midnight and demanded that police withdraw from the court.

The crisis began on Friday, when judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska said she had taken over the tribunal's leadership and suspended president Bogdan Święczkowski and his deputy Bartłomiej Sochański for a month.

Warsaw police said three people were detained for jumping the fence and entering the grounds, and that officers had not gone into the building or acted against its internal guard.

Prime Minister Donald Tusk backed the judge's move, saying there was "no other way" after years of lawlessness under the previous Law and Justice government.

The tribunal says its leaders remain in office, and the two factions of judges deny each other's legitimacy, according to Clarín.
