The Hungarian parliament passed a constitutional amendment to oust President Tamas Sulyok.
This comes asHungary's newly-voted Prime Minister Peter Magyar continues his push to dismantle the system and influence established by his predecessor, nationalist leader Viktor Orban.
Magyar's pro-European party Tisza holds a two-thirds majority in parliament, a majority that lets them push through constitutional changes and cancel many of the policies implemented during Orban's 16-year tenure as Prime Minister.
Why is Sulyok being ousted?
According to Magyar, Sulyok did not fulfil his role by choosing to not interfere with Orban's antidemocratic steps, with removing Sulyok being one of Magyar's election campaign promises, bringing Magyar to argue that the majority his party received from the public in the election gives him the mandate to follow up on that promise.
