Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar said he will advance a constitutional amendment to impeach President Tamás Sulyok, according to Asaf Rozentzweig (N12). Sulyok, a remnant of Viktor Orbán's regime, has refused demands to resign.
Prime Minister Péter Magyar announced Monday he will push for a constitutional amendment to remove President Tamás Sulyok, who has rebuffed calls to step down. The move escalates a power struggle between the new premier and holdovers from Viktor Orbán's era. As The Zioneer reported, Magyar's government previously passed a bill capping prime ministerial terms at eight years, blocking Orbán's return, and submitted a reform of state broadcasting. Sulyok's fate now rests on whether Magyar can secure the supermajority needed for a constitutional change.
