The Hungarian Parliament adopted the 17th Constitutional amendment, which introduces a 70-year age limit for Constitutional Court members. This new regulation will terminate the mandates of five judges, including the current President Polt Péter. Whether President Sulyok Tamás will sign the amendment currently remains uncertain.
The Constitutional Court announced that it has a plan to manage the transition process following Polt's departure. It was stated that when the position of the court president becomes vacant, the functioning of the institution will be ensured either through the election of an acting president or via the senior member (korelnök). The Court demonstrated a neutral stance by avoiding the interpretation of ongoing or already adopted laws. On the other hand, President Sulyok has three options before him: signing the amendment, resigning from his position, or applying to the Constitutional Court. While the first two options would create a clear situation, if he refuses to sign the law and applies to the court, Hungary could face a constitutional crisis unseen since the system change.
