Hungary's
parliament has approved a constitutional amendment on Monday (July 13) to oust
President Tamas Sulyok, whom Prime Minister Peter Magyar said is a
"puppet" of former premier Viktor Orban.
The
legislation is part of Magyar's drive to dismantle Orban's bastions of power,
for which he said he had received a strong mandate from voters. Magyar's
center-right Tisza Party ended the 16-year rule of Orban's nationalist Fidesz
party with a landslide election victory in April.
The
amendment would end Sulyok's term immediately, citing society's "serious
loss of confidence" in him. Parliament would elect a new president until a
new constitution takes effect, or for a maximum of five years.
