Hungary's President Signs Amendment Ending Term Amid Government Transition
Hungary's President Tamás Sulyok signed a constitutional amendment ending his term, resolving a dispute with Prime Minister Péter Magyar's new government. Magyar, who defeated Viktor Orbán in April, accused Sulyok of failing to oppose Orbán's antidemocratic actions. The amendment, passed by Magyar's pro-European Tisza party, takes effect at midnight Monday, with Parliament Speaker Ágnes Forsthoffer assuming presidential duties until a new president is elected within 30 days. Magyar's administration has since moved to remove Orbán-era officials and suspend public media services seen as partisan.
