Amnesty International has voiced concerns regarding the Hungarian government’s handling of the removal of Constitutional Court President Tamás Sulyok. The organization objects to the limited five-day timeframe provided for review of the process. Amnesty argues that a formal impeachment procedure, involving deprivation of powers, would have been the appropriate course of action. They suggest the current method employed by the government is flawed and lacks due process. The criticism centers on the speed and perceived lack of transparency surrounding Sulyok’s dismissal. This raises questions about the independence of Hungary’s judiciary and adherence to legal standards. Amnesty International’s statement calls for a more legally sound and considered approach to such significant constitutional matters.
