Hungary’s President Tamás Sulyok signed a constitutional amendment on Saturday, triggering his immediate resignation from office. The amendment’s passage and subsequent resignation effectively remove a head of state frequently criticized by Prime Minister Péter Magyar. Magyar has repeatedly characterized Sulyok as a puppet of the former government led by Viktor Orbán and his Fidesz party. This move allows Magyar to appoint a new president more aligned with his political vision. The resignation is a significant event in Hungarian politics, signaling a clear break from the Orbán era. The constitutional change itself is a key factor in this political shift, enabling the swift removal of the president. It remains to be seen what impact this event will have on the future direction of Hungary.
