Hungary's Chief Prosecutor Resigns as Magyar Overhauls State Power

Magyar’s administration, which assumed power following the April elections that ended the 16-year Fidesz hegemony, has prioritized the removal of officials appointed under former leader Viktor Orban. Nagy, installed by a Fidesz-controlled parliament in 2025 for a nine-year term, had become a focal point of the new government's drive to restore institutional independence.

President Tamas Sulyok has already signaled alignment with the transition by approving constitutional amendments aimed at curbing the remnants of Orban’s influence. While the Tisza party rejects accusations of authoritarianism leveled by the opposition, the political environment remains volatile. Fidesz loyalists are actively mobilizing to challenge the legitimacy of the current administration, setting the stage for a prolonged struggle over the country's legislative and judicial trajectory.
