Hungary’s top court has rejected President Tamás Sulyok’s petition to prevent his removal from office, a move that may accelerate Prime Minister Péter Magyar’s plans to restructure the nation’s political landscape. The court’s decision represents a significant hurdle for Sulyok, who was appointed by Viktor Orbán’s party and has been resisting efforts to oust him following Magyar’s electoral victory in April. The rejection could bolster Magyar’s agenda to amend the constitution and remove Sulyok, whom he accuses of being a remnant of Orbán’s influence. This legal development unfolds amid broader political shifts, as Magyar’s administration seeks to consolidate power.
