Prime Minister Peter Magyar announced on June 22 a constitutional amendment process aimed at removing President Tamas Sulyok, marking a decisive step to dismantle what he describes as a political and economic mafia. <\/p>\n
Prime Minister Peter Magyar addressed the Hungarian parliament on Monday, June 22, declaring his government’s intent to remove President Tamas Sulyok from office. Magyar stated that the administration must act with “utmost determination and severity” to liberate the country from political and economic criminal groups.<\/p>\n
Magyar previously demanded the resignation of the President and top judicial officials, calling them “Orban\u2019s puppets.” While a voluntary deadline passed on May 31, President Sulyok has warned that these removal efforts threaten Hungary’s rule of law and constitutional order.<\/p>\n
A central pillar of the reform plan is the creation of a National Office for Asset Recovery and Protection. This body is intended to coordinate financial investigations, scrutinize suspicious real estate transactions, and audit public procurement contracts exceeding 32 million dollars.<\/p>\n
Magyar noted that establishing this office requires amending 47 separate legal acts. He argued that the office is necessary because the current state serves as a hostage to organized political and economic interests.<\/p>\n
The Prime Minister\u2019s Tisza party holds a constitutional majority of 141 out of 199 seats in parliament. Magyar plans to initiate constitutional reforms this autumn, concluding with a national referendum.<\/p>\n
Proposed changes include capping parliamentary terms at 12 years and reforming the selection process for the Constitutional Court. Under the new rules, the court president would be elected by fellow judges, and a mandatory retirement age of 70 would be established for Constitutional Court justices, effectively ending the tenure of current prosecutor Peter Polt.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
