Hungary’s parliament votes to remove President Tamas Sulyok via constitutional amendment
Hungarian lawmakers approved a constitutional amendment ending President Tamas Sulyok’s term, the most dramatic move yet by new Prime Minister Peter Magyar to dismantle former leader Viktor Orban’s influence.
- The amendment passed with 139 votes in favor and six opposing; Fidesz deputies boycotted the session.
- President Sulyok has five days to sign the amendment; Prime Minister Magyar said he will launch impeachment proceedings if Sulyok refuses.
- The amendment also removes Constitutional Court judges over 70 and imposes a 12-year term limit on lawmakers, barring deputies with three terms from running again.
- Viktor Orban left Hungary to attend the football World Cup finals in the US, and Gergely Gulyas resigned as head of the Fidesz parliamentary group.
