Story summary
  • Tisza party lawmaker Márton Hajdu announced his party will move to remove top judges appointed by Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, calling them “puppets” who cannot act independently of Orbán’s interests.
  • He said plans target Constitutional Court president Sulyok and the Supreme Court president, though Sulyok resists using his limited powers.
  • Hajdu noted the new government’s 53 percent vote gives it a parliamentary supermajority to amend the constitution and remove the judges.
