Hungary’s Parliament Targets President in Constitutional Overhaul

The newly approved measure forces a high-stakes standoff: if Sulyok refuses to sign the amendment within five days, the legislature reserves the right to elect a successor. This parliamentary maneuver serves as the centerpiece of the Tisza Party’s campaign promise to dismantle the institutional influence built by Orban during his long-standing tenure.

While the amendment sailed through the chamber with overwhelming support, the political climate remains volatile. Fidesz lawmakers staged a formal boycott of the session, signaling a deepening rift in national governance. As street protests emerge and opposition figures raise alarms regarding the erosion of democratic checks, the government appears committed to a aggressive restructuring of Hungary’s executive framework.
