Magyar files constitutional amendment to fire Orbán-allied president

Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar has submitted a 12-point constitutional amendment proposal aiming to remove President Tamás Sulyok from office and reduce the influence of former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's administration. Key elements of the proposal include ending Sulyok's presidential term, imposing a three-term limit for parliament members, establishing an independent Constitutional Court, setting a 70-year age cap for judges, and creating a body to recover assets misused under Orbán's rule. Magyar's move follows his demand for Sulyok's resignation after winning the national election, which came after Sulyok was appointed president in 2024 amid controversy surrounding his predecessor's resignation over a child sexual abuse scandal. Sulyok has refused to step down, stating he will remain in office until 2029. The European Commission has indicated it may release significant EU funding if Magyar implements judicial and anti-corruption reforms.
