The human rights watchdog has warned that PM Péter Magyar’s rushed nomination of Judit Polgár represents an undemocratic, unilateral approach to selection.

The human rights watchdog has warned that PM Péter Magyar’s rushed nomination of Judit Polgár represents an undemocratic, unilateral approach to selection.

Conservative opposition party Fidesz has condemned the removal of Tamás Sulyok as unlawful and the following floating of Polgár’s name as “eyewash.”

Dozens of right-wing and conservative members of the European Parliament want to hear the European Commission condemn an amendment to Hungary’s constitution, expected to be passed today in parliament, removing the country’s president from office in a blatant violation of the rule of law.

The Venice Commission indicated that it was ready to urgently discuss the Hungarian President’s submission regarding the constitutional crisis in Hungary.

The spoiled EP debate would have allowed concerns to be voiced about the constitutional amendments proposed by the new Hungarian government.

President Tamás Sulyok announced on social media that he has sought the opinion of Hungary’s top court about Tisza plans to amend the country’s Fundamental Law.

Tamás Sulyok warned that any attempt to remove public officials must adhere strictly to the rule of law and constitutional norms.
