  "account": "Poland's President Karol Nawrocki met with judges at the Constitutional Court in Warsaw, accompanied by Supreme Court President Zbigniew Kapinski. The meeting comes amid a long-standing dispute over the court's leadership between the government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk and the opposition party PiS, which backed Nawrocki. Earlier, the court's website announced that its current president Bogdan Swieczkowski and his deputy would be suspended for a month, and Judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska would take over as acting head. Many protesters were still gathered outside the court late in the evening.",
  "summary": "The parliament nominates five new judges, but the right-conservative President Nawrocki refuses to swear them in. During the night, he goes to the court himself, in front of which demonstrators are waiting.",
