Head of Poland's Constitutional Tribunal asks police if they are taking part in a coup d'état

The head of Poland's Constitutional Tribunal, Bogdan Svyonchovsky, publicly accused law enforcement representatives of obstructing his entry into the institution's premises. During the incident, he directly asked the police officers: «Ви берете участь у державному перевороті?» (Are you taking part in a coup d'état?)

Attempt to enter the building

In fact, Svyonchovsky presented his official ID, trying to find out why the law enforcement officers were not granting him access to the institution's territory. Despite having the documents, the police did not allow the tribunal's head into the building.

Citizens' reaction

Meanwhile, a crowd of demonstrators gathered near the entrance to the Constitutional Tribunal. The protesters chanted: «Впустіть голову!» (Let the head in!)
