BUDAPEST, June 1 (Reuters) – Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar said \u200bon Monday, after meeting President Tamas Sulyok, that if the \u200cpresident does not resign the government will launch legal proceedings to remove him from office.<\/div>\n
Magyar’s centre-right Tisza party ousted Prime Minister Viktor Orban in a landslide election victory \u200bin April and pledged to remove several figures appointed by \u200bOrban to key public positions over the past 16 years.<\/div>\n
Magyar \u2060has called on Sulyok \u2014 elected in early 2024 by lawmakers from Orban’s Fidesz \u200bparty \u2014 to step down, accusing him of failing to represent national unity \u200bon major issues and of serving the interests of Orban and his government. Sulyok has refused to resign.<\/div>\n
“I have told the President that if he maintains his stance \u200band does not resign, I will inform …the lawmakers of Tisza about \u200bour legislative proposals today and we will immediately start the necessary procedures,” Magyar said.<\/div>\n
He \u200csaid the \u2060legislative process would take about a month and would involve “removing all the puppets” who took part in “dismantling the rule of law and democracy.”<\/div>\n
Orban’s Fidesz party accused Magyar of issuing an “unlawful ultimatum,” and said Sulyok was fulfilling \u200bhis lawful mandate \u200bwhich runs until \u20602029 and could not be removed from office.<\/div>\n
Sulyok previously served as head of Hungary’s top court, a post \u200bto which he was also elected by Fidesz in \u200b2016.<\/div>\n
The presidency \u2060in Hungary is largely ceremonial, but Sulyok can refer laws back to parliament for reconsideration or forward legislation to the Constitutional Court, potentially slowing or \u2060blocking \u200bMagyar\u2019s reform agenda.<\/div>\n
Magyar has said he would \u200buse his party’s two\u2011thirds parliamentary majority to amend the constitution and other legislation to force Sulyok \u200bfrom office.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n
