Dozens of police guarded the entrance to the court as followers of the opposition right-wing Law and Justice party (PiS) protested the ousting of constitutional court president Bogdan Swieczkowski.
The court's official X social media account said there had been a "coup d'etat" and some demonstrators chanted "Tusk traitor" as they condemned the government of Prime Minister Donald Tusk.
