Hungary’s parliament votes to oust Orbán-appointed president – POLITICO

The Hungarian Parliament passed a sweeping constitutional amendment Monday that will oust the country’s president Tamás Sulyok and Constitutional Court president Péter Polt.

The law is part of efforts by Prime Minister Péter Magyar’s Tisza party to turn the page on over a decade of rule by the now-ousted Fidesz party, to which Magyar claims that Sulyok and Polt are loyal.

“Whenever he has had to choose between constitutional principles and the interests of Fidesz, Tamás Sulyok has time and again chosen the interests of Fidesz, and continues to do so to this day,” Magyar said in a speech to Parliament on Monday.
