In Zahlen
The constitutional amendments, passed with a parliamentary majority by the newly ruling Tisza party in Hungary, have come into effect. Along with these amendments, President Tamás Sulyok stepped down from his position, the President of the Constitutional Court was dismissed, and a ban was imposed on the re-nomination of those who have served as Members of Parliament for three consecutive terms.
For the vacant presidency, Prime Minister Péter Magyar nominated Judit Polgár, who is considered the strongest female chess player in history. However, despite being seen as a figure the Hungarian people could be proud of, Polgár declined the offer in the evening hours. Saying no to the proposal, Polgár stated that she did not feel she had the strength to take on the task of uniting the society.
Sulyok, who left the presidency, described the constitutional amendments as 'a destructive moment for Hungarian constitutional democracy'. While the parliament is given 30 days to elect the new president, Parliamentary Speaker Ágnes Forsthoffer will serve as the acting head of state until the end of this process.
