Anti-government protest in Warsaw, Poland

A small crowd of people is currently staging a protest in support of the existing Constitutional Court Judges in front of the Court's building on Szucha Street in central Warsaw, Poland, on February 10, 2024. The protesters, who are holding Polish national flags and anti-government banners, are led by leaders of the far-right media outlets Gazeta Polska and TV Republica, as well as the Law and Justice (Prawo i Sprawiedliwość - PIS) political party. The Law and Justice party, which ruled Poland for eight years, lost the last election in October 2023 and has now become a right-wing opposition force against a more centrist and liberal ruling coalition. The main political force in this coalition is the Civic Coalition, led by Donald Tusk, the former President of the Council of EU and the current Prime Minister of Poland. The current Constitutional Court judges were sworn in by the PiS party. Both sides are accusing each other of unconstitutional acts surrounding the Constitutional Court.
