WHAT HAPPENED
In a recent vote, Hungary's parliament confirmed András Baka, the former head of the Supreme Court, as the country's largely ceremonial president. The decision followed the controversial removal of the previous president by Prime Minister Peter Magyar.
According to Deutsche Welle, the vote was overwhelmingly in favour of Baka, who had served as the chief justice of Hungary’s highest court before being appointed to the presidency. The move came after Prime Minister Peter Magyar, who has been widely criticized by opposition figures, unseated Baka’s predecessor in a decision that many observers described as contentious.
The presidency in Hungary is mostly symbolic, but the appointment of a former judge—especially one who had been dismissed by the ruling party—underscores the continued influence of the current government over state institutions.
- Hungarian parliament elected former Supreme Court head András Baka as president.
- The vote was described as overwhelming by Deutsche Welle.
- Prime Minister Peter Magyar removed Baka’s predecessor, a move seen as controversial.
