Hungary votes to remove Orbán-loyal president as Magyar dismantles Fidesz system
The Hungarian parliament has passed constitutional amendments targeting President Tamás Sulyok and capping lawmakers' terms at 12 years.
Hungary's parliament has voted to remove President Tamás Sulyok, a loyalist of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. This move is part of broader changes driven by politician Magyar, who seeks to dismantle the Fidesz party system built by Orbán.
The constitutional amendments are specifically aimed at Sulyok and also cap the tenure of lawmakers at 12 years. These changes represent a significant blow to Orbán's long-standing grip on power.
Magyar's break with Orbán remains sharper at home than on the issue of Ukraine. This indicates that political opposition in Hungary is focusing on domestic reforms rather than foreign policy disagreements.
