Hungarian Prime Minister Magyar threatened to remove President Shuiqiu from power and warned of impeachment if he refuses to voluntarily resign.
Consensus
- Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Madar threatened President Tamás Sulyok with removal from office if he refuses to resign voluntarily.
- The threat is linked to a constitutional amendment scheduled for parliamentary vote on July 13, which would effectively remove Sulyok from his position.
- President Sulyok has refused to leave his post voluntarily and called the government's initiative unconstitutional.
- Sulyok has sought legal evaluation of the situation from the Venice Commission.
Points of divergence
- The constitutional amendment is scheduled for a vote in parliament on July 13, and if passed, Sulyok will have five days to sign it before being removed. The ruling party 'Tisza' holds two-thirds of the parliamentary majority. — vesti
- The opposition party Fidesz, led by Viktor Orban, supports Sulyok and previously held a large protest in Budapest against the prime minister's actions. — vesti
- Madar accused Sulyok of failing to fulfill his duties as head of state and not preventing alleged misconduct by Orban’s previous government. — tg_tass_agency
