Hungary’s parliament has removed President Tamás Sulyok from office following the approval of the 17th amendment to the country’s constitution. This legislative change, championed by Prime Minister Péter Magyar, aims to dismantle the institutional framework established under former leader Viktor Orbán. Sulyok, an Orbán ally who assumed the presidency in 2024, was resistant to stepping down despite Magyar’s significant electoral victory in April 2026. The amendment not only ousts Sulyok but also mandates the removal of four Constitutional Court judges by imposing a retirement age and limits parliamentary deputies to a 12-year term.
