Orban allies protest in Hungary against plans to oust President Tamas Sulyok

In Hungary, opponents of the current government's plan to remove President Tamás Sulyok gathered in Budapest for a protest, supported by former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's allies. The new center-right government, led by Prime Minister Péter Magyar, aims to replace Sulyok through a constitutional amendment, citing his failure to counter Orbán's authoritarian policies. Orbán and his Fidesz party argue that the removal of Sulyok represents an attack on democratic norms and the rule of law. Protesters emphasized the importance of preserving democratic principles rather than focusing solely on Sulyok's personal popularity. Magyar claims the move is justified by parliamentary approval and necessary to address past governance issues. The situation highlights ongoing tensions between the old and new political factions in Hungary.
