After meeting Hungarian President Tamas Sulyok, Prime Minister Peter Magyar said that if Sulyok does not resign the government will launch legal proceedings to remove him from office.⁣ ⁣ After a landslide election victory in April, Magyar's center-right Tisza party pledged to remove several figures appointed by his predecessor Viktor Orban to key public positions over the past 16 years.⁣ ⁣ Magyar has called on Sulyok – elected in early 2024 by lawmakers from Orban's Fidesz party – to step down, accusing him of failing to represent national unity on major issues and of serving the interests of Orban and his government. Sulyok has refused to resign.⁣ ⁣ Magyar has said he would use his party's two‑thirds parliamentary majority to amend the constitution and other legislation to force Sulyok from office.⁣ ⁣ #hungary #politics #europe #eu #magyar #sulyok
