Poland's constitutional standoff may have been planned for a quiet Friday, according to Rzeczpospolita.
The paper reports that people around President Karol Nawrocki expected Prime Minister Donald Tusk's government to try to take control of the Constitutional Tribunal on Friday, ahead of a long weekend, when public attention would be lower.
Nawrocki's return from Senegal and his appearance at the tribunal building disrupted that plan, the report says.
The tribunal fight is the sharp end of Poland's power struggle between president and government. If the timing claim is right, it was not just a legal dispute, it was a calendar operation.
