Prime Minister Donald Tusk defended the ousting as an effort to "restore the rule of law" and fix a tribunal crippled by years of political disputes, while protesters and critics view the suspension as unlawful interference. Amid the escalating standoff, Sky News and Al Jazeera reported that the Polish president cut short a trip to Senegal to return home, with Al Jazeera noting that he joined the demonstrators and held crisis talks.
