Hungary’s New President Challenges Orbán Legacy | Dublin News

Hungary’s new president, Andras Baka — former head of the supreme court — was elected by the ruling Tisza party, signaling Prime Minister Peter Magyar’s push to dismantle Viktor Orbán’s legacy. In a fiery inaugural address, Baka condemned the previous regime for blurring state power lines and vowed justice over revenge, pledging to represent all Hungarians. His appointment followed the removal of former president Tamas Sulyok, whom Magyar called a “puppet” of Orbán, via a controversial constitutional amendment that also caps Baka’s term at five years. The opposition Fidesz party boycotted the vote, branding the move tyrannical — a charge the governing party denies.
