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 new government “is crossing every boundary—human, moral, and rule-of-law. Hungarian voters did not give a mandate for this,” ex-PM Viktor Orbán wrote.

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.

By wielding his supermajority as a weapon, Péter Magyar has chosen the path of permanent escalation.

Balázs Orbán, the former political director of Viktor Orbán praised the Polish President’s move to host his Hungarian counterpart as a vital sovereigntist pushback against external liberal attacks.

“It’s not just about [President Sulyok’s] rights. Only fair trial can guarantee that none of us is ever at the mercy of the authorities,” the watchdog said in a statement.

PM Péter Magyar is moving to forcibly unseat the presidents of the Republic and the Constitutional Court and oust half of the opposition MPs from Parliament.

The Magyar government might move against Hungary’s top court that stands in the way of attempts to upset the constitutional balance of power.
