Hungary's parliament passes constitutional amendment to remove President Tamás Sulyok from office.
Hungary's Parliament voted 139-6 on July 13, 2026 to pass a constitutional amendment removing President Tamás Sulyok, an appointee of former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Prime Minister Péter Magyar's Tisza party, which won a two-thirds majority in April elections, pushed the amendment as part of a broader effort to dismantle Orbán's political legacy. Sulyok was given five days to sign the amendment or face impeachment.
