The police, in turn, are preparing for possible forceful actions, concentrating equipment in the capital and detaining participants of the demonstrations.

President of Poland Karol Nawrocki has returned to Warsaw and convened an emergency meeting involving the head of the Constitutional Tribunal and other judges. This meeting is taking place against the backdrop of escalating protests, as law enforcement calls on journalists, deputies, and protected individuals to step back from the courthouse.
Police Action Plan
The police are actively mobilizing forces to control the situation. They are:
- concentrating police equipment in the capital;
- detaining participants of the protests;
- calling on people to retreat from the perimeter.
