Hungary's Prime Minister Péter Magyar announced plans to amend the Constitution to remove President Tamás Sulyok after the latter refused to resign by a May 31 deadline. Sulyok, appointed by former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's party, holds a largely ceremonial role but can refer laws to the Constitutional Court, raising concerns about potential obstruction of Magyar's reform agenda. Magyar's Tisza party, with a two-thirds parliamentary majority, intends to begin legal procedures to oust Sulyok, while Orbán's Fidesz party defends the president's lawful mandate until 2029.
