Hungarian president deposed

Hungary’s parliament passed a law yesterday to remove President Tamás Sulyok from office. This was a campaign pledge of new Prime Minister Péter Magyar. Sulyok, Hungary’s ceremonial head of state, was appointed by Magyar’s predecessor, Viktor Orbán. Magyar claims he is cleaning up Orbán-era authoritarianism and corruption, but even liberal group Amnesty International warns that Magyar is showing signs of becoming an authoritarian himself.
