Hungary's President Vows to Resist Ouster by New Government

Hungarian President Tamas Sulyok has vowed to oppose any attempts by the new government, led by Prime Minister Peter Magyar, to force him out of his position. In an interview with POLITICO, Sulyok declared he would do everything in his power to resist such efforts.

Sulyok criticized Magyar, stating the new prime minister is orchestrating a takeover of state institutions that would grant him even more power than Viktor Orbán previously held. The president argued that Magyar's attempt to remove him and other officials appointed during the Orbán era constitutes an abuse of parliamentary majority.

"No parliamentary majority can allow the violation of the rule of law and European values," Sulyok told Politico, referring to Magyar's push for his removal. He further emphasized that Magyar's Tisza party aims to concentrate power in 16 weeks at a pace that Fidesz did not achieve in 16 years, effectively seeking to replace all public officials appointed by the previous parliament.

Magyar had previously asked Sulyok to resign shortly after taking office as prime minister, stating it was time for him to leave with dignity. Magyar asserted that Sulyok could not represent Hungarians as head of state.
