The President of the Republic still does not want to consult with the government or the parties about the Prosecutor General. He could even nominate Szathmáry again, but that would only be wasting time.
The head of state said he knew about the case of his brother Zoltán Szathmáry before naming his candidate. He denied that the nomination was an attempt to save the old Péter Polt-style prosecution.
The National Assembly did not vote for the president's candidate, Zoltán Szathmáry, for the position of Chief Prosecutor.
The National Assembly voted on Monday to appoint Zoltán Szathmáry as Prosecutor General. The decision required a two-thirds majority, but in the end the candidate was not elected.
Zoltán Szathmáry did not receive the necessary two-thirds support, so the National Assembly did not elect him as Prosecutor General. The deputies voted on the candidate for President of the Republic, András Baka, on Monday, after the Tisza faction had previously indicated that it would not support his election.
President András Baka said he denies that Péter Polt sought to reorganize his power during the candidate selection.
