🗡️ Assassin

Authorities have launched an investigation into a 66-year-old man suspected of planning an assassination attempt against Prime Minister Donald Tusk. Details from the man's online posts are being scrutinized as part of the probe. In a separate development, labor inspectors have entered the Constitutional Tribunal building, confirming findings previously reported by Wirtualna Polska. This action comes amidst ongoing chaos surrounding the Tribunal, with political analyst Maciej Matczak criticizing President Karol Nawrocki regarding the institution, and Minister of Internal Affairs and Administration Marcin Kierwiński calling recent events a 'fall.' Judge Maciej Berek, elected to the Tribunal, took an oath in parliament, but President Karol Nawrocki has not formally invited him to take the oath of office. Meanwhile, the prosecutor's office has initiated a formal review concerning Member of the Sejm Michał Kołodziejczak, following allegations of aggressive behavior and drug use. Kołodziejczak, whose Civic Coalition club membership has been suspended, appeared at the Internal Security Agency.
