Péter Magyar Seeks to Remove President Tamás Sulyok as Parliament Restores Court Budget Oversight

Prime Minister Péter Magyar is advancing a 12-point constitutional amendment that would cut short President Tamás Sulyok's term and return budgetary oversight to the Constitutional Court.The Tisza party, buoyed by a two-thirds parliamentary majority after a decisive April election win, includes limits that cap deputies at three terms, sets a 70-year retirement age for judges including Péter Polt, and creates a National Office for Public Asset Recovery to combat corruption.President Tamás Sulyok calls the plan a breach of rule of law, Fidesz organizes protests, and Human Rights Watch and Amnesty International demand procedural guarantees while Mr. Magyar pledges impeachment if Mr. Sulyok refuses to sign.
