Context: irony over the 'Russian trace' and the crisis in Poland
Earlier, Deputy Chairman of the Russian Security Council and chairman of the United Russia party Dmitry Medvedev also ironized about the 'Russian trace' in the political crisis in Poland and other events in world politics, including the US elections and the influx of migrants into Spain. Against the backdrop of these statements, in Warsaw on October 30 a crowd of protesters gathered outside the Constitutional Tribunal building: the situation escalated due to a conflict over its leadership. A notice appeared on the tribunal's website about the removal of president Bogdan Swięczkowski and deputy Bartłomiej Sochański, while judge Anna Korwin-Piotrowska declared herself acting head of the tribunal as its most senior judge. Earlier, a French politician commented on the protests in Poland.
