Orbán allies protest in Hungary against plans to oust President Tamás Sulyok
- On Thursday, thousands gathered at the presidential Sándor Palace in Budapest to defend President Tamás Sulyok against the new government's constitutional amendment removing him from office.
- Since taking office in May, Prime Minister Peter Magyar launched 'Operation Purifying Fire' to dismantle the political system built during former leader Viktor Orbán's 16-year rule.
- Magyar overhauled public media, which he argued served as a 'propaganda factory,' and implemented reforms to unlock 16 billion euros in European Union funds frozen over rule-of-law concerns.
- Orbán's Fidesz party denounced the moves as an assault on democratic norms, characterizing the push to remove Sulyok as a step toward establishing 'autocratic rule.'
- Next week's vote on constitutional amendments will implement term limits, reform the judiciary, and create an authority to uncover alleged financial abuses by Orbán's government.
