President Tamás Sulyok signed a constitutional amendment that ends his term as Hungary's head of state, according to Israeli media reports. The move follows the impeachment push by Prime Minister Péter Magyar, as The Zioneer previously reported.
Hungarian President Tamás Sulyok signed a constitutional amendment Saturday evening that brings his presidency to an end, Israeli media reported. The exact text of the amendment and the mechanism for Sulyok's departure were not immediately detailed.
As The Zioneer reported on June 22, Prime Minister Péter Magyar had been advancing a constitutional amendment to impeach Sulyok, a remnant of the previous Orbán government. Sulyok had refused earlier calls to resign, leading Magyar to pursue the legislative route. The amendment passage also aligns with broader coalition efforts to limit political terms — a separate constitutional change capping prime ministerial tenure at eight years was passed on June 15.
It remains unclear when Sulyok's term formally ends and whether a successor will be chosen immediately. The development marks a significant consolidation of Magyar's political power since taking office.
