Hungary’s Prime Minister-designate demands the resignation of the Hungarian president
13 April 06:12Speaking at a rally attended by thousands of his supporters, Hungary’s likely future prime minister, Péter Magyar, called for the country’s president to resign. All the “puppets” should go with him.
This was reported by RBC-Ukraine, citing a live broadcast of Péter Magyar’s rally, according to "Komersant Ukrainian".
The leader of the Tisza Party announced a shift in Hungary’s foreign policy. Magyar and his political force’s top priority will be to restore trust within key international blocs. He plans to move away from the “balancing” policy that Viktor Orbán has pursued for years.
According to the politician, the country must once again become predictable. Magyar also explicitly stated his intention to strengthen defense capabilities within NATO.
“We will restore the functioning of the institutions that ensure democracy and its independence. Hungary will once again become a strong ally in the European Union and NATO,” Mádor emphasized.
The politician has already announced his visit to the Belgian capital. His goal is to unblock European funding that was frozen due to Viktor Orbán. This, in turn, led to the stagnation of many state programs, the head of “Tisza” noted.
An ultimatum to the current government and the president
Mátyás is not going to wait for lengthy power transfer procedures. He demands an immediate overhaul of the entire state apparatus. The country’s president, Tamás Szujók, whom Mátyás considers part of Orbán’s old system, has come under fire.
“I call on the president of the republic to ask me to form a government and then step down from his post. I call on all the puppets to do the same,” the politician stated.
How the elections unfolded in Hungary
The parliamentary elections saw a historic voter turnout. After 16 years of Orbán’s rule, 77.80% of Hungarians—nearly 6 million people—came out to elect a new prime minister.
According to preliminary data, Péter Magyar is winning the election. As of 4:37 a.m. on April 13, 98.93% of the votes have been counted. The Tisza Party will receive over 50% of the seats in parliament (138 seats).
