Hungary’s new PM slams alleged political dependence of president

Hungary’s newly elected prime minister, Péter Magyar, has said that Viktor Orbán effectively confirmed the political dependence of President Tamas Sulyok on the ruling Fidesz party.

The remarks were made in a post by Magyar on the social media platform X, Caliber.Az reports.

Yesterday, @PM_ViktorOrban confirmed that @DrTamasSulyok, the President of Hungary, is a Fidesz puppet. Of course, signatures can be collected, but 3,385,000 of our fellow citizens voted for a complete political transformation — and for these figures to leave.
