Hungarian opposition leader Péter Magyar is challenging the legitimacy of President Tamás Sulyok, a close ally of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Magyar, who has emerged as a major political challenger to the ruling Fidesz party, is questioning the president’s standing and calling for systemic reforms. While the opposition aims to weaken the government’s influence over state institutions, legally removing the president remains highly difficult due to the ruling party’s strong parliamentary majority.
- Opposition leader Péter Magyar is publicly challenging Hungarian President Tamás Sulyok, accusing him of being an Orbán loyalist.
- The dispute centers on allegations of constitutional irregularities regarding the president’s appointment and past actions.
- To successfully remove a president, a two-thirds majority vote in the Hungarian parliament is required.
- Viktor Orbán’s ruling Fidesz party currently maintains a supermajority in parliament, making any forced removal highly unlikely.

So the idea is simple. Clearly rip everything down and build back with accountability, transparency, in the real government structure that serves the people. Canada is in desperate need of something like this as well.
Lovely accent!
If corruption was so rife under Orban, then surely his cronies must also have had their snouts in the trough as well. Can’t they be brought to justice?
The Bulgarian flag in the background lol. Magyar, first governor of the Hungarian province of the reborn Bulgarian empire.
That’s the wrong flag in the thumbnail….
Have you seen the US? Same thing by design with the SCOTUS and many state supreme courts. The SCOTUS is a lifetime appointment so they can knock down anything the people pass no matter what the numbers are. It took the Republicans less than 50 years to destroy the country.
It's always nice seeing this lady, she has a great understanding of the situation and is good at explaining it
It sounds like the only constitutional crisis is what Orban was able to creep into the Hungarian law books. Democracy should serve all people, not just those who voted in the majority. I applaud Magyar's efforts to begin to unravell Orban's hold, especially by setting term limits on his own position.
It is a democratic reset, one we're very glad about. Peter Magyar is doing what he promised to do. And the way he talks, he is genuinely passionate about making Hungary a functioning democracy. So are his cabinet of experts. I'm Hungarian, I'm watching a ton of Hungarian stuff on this, and Kim Lane Scheppele really is an absolute expert on the situation (I've seen other interviews with her in the past month, she's always on point.)
Please fix the thumbnail though, you have the wrong flag. 😀
Magyar need to make new constitution that people to have highest order so whoever come into power and abuse it, they can go on the streets to protest and force whoever is in power to resign, otherwise there is no system for anyone who come into power to remove him as dictator
Prove yourself first.
DW News just mistook the Hungarian flag for the Bulgarian way exactly the same way as DW mistake AfD Right-Wing party for a Far-Right Wing party
DW just posted a Bulgarian instead of a Hungarian flag in the thumbnail, even their thumbnail lies
It is not a question of IF, but when and how. If we follow moral foundations of politics, he does not represent the people anymore, and he should resign but he would not resign so we will see another test of our institutions. Hopefully within due process.
Excellent analysis. Thank you for having an actual academic expert as oppose to a pundit.
Hungary needs to implement an admendment into the constitution that any new admendment to the constitution requires to pass a national referendum of a majority so that no future dictators can mess around.
Wow, such democratic people…
Democracy is not all that cracked out to be…Democracy is great as long as we get the leader we want hahaha.
Can you condem genocide in Gaza, or nazzie like (read German) occupation of Lebanon. Your tra, LA, LA, topic are irelevant
the hungarian flag is red white green not white green red
Of course it’s a democratic reset! What a silly question!
