Hungary Votes to Remove President | Global News

Hungary’s Parliament just voted to strip President Tamás Sulyok of power under a sweeping constitutional amendment, marking a historic shift as the new Tisza party, elected on a platform of restoring democracy, moves to dismantle Viktor Orbán’s legacy. With a landslide majority, lawmakers passed reforms targeting the judiciary, establishing a financial misconduct watchdog, and imposing a 12-year term limit for MPs — all while Fidesz boycotted the session. Prime Minister Péter Magyar, who campaigned on removing Sulyok, declared this the end of the “Orbán legal system,” while Sulyok defiantly refuses to step down. He has five days to sign the bill — or face impeachment. Orbán, meanwhile, hinted at a changing democratic timeline from afar, as Fidesz protests rage on.
