匈牙利新政府计划通过宪法修正案罢免总统塔马什·苏尤克,该修正案将于下周进行投票 [1]。前总理维克托·欧尔班及其政党菲德兹组织了名为“停止暴政”的抗议活动以反对这一举措 [1]。新总理彼得·马加尔表示,此举旨在清除前总理欧尔班留下的所谓“专制”影响并履行竞选承诺,他同时指出苏尤克未能阻止反民主步骤且政府拥有议会三分之二多数作为授权 [1]。相反,欧尔班阵营指责该计划是破坏法治和民主规范的独裁步骤 [1]。此外,匈牙利政府已解锁 164 亿欧元(约 190 亿美元)的欧盟资金以实施相关改革 [1]。
Opposition forces gathered for a demonstration in Budapest opposing the new government's plan to remove President Tamás Sulyok via a constitutional amendment, which is scheduled to be voted on next week [1]. The initiative was organized by former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán and his Fidesz party under the banner of "Stop Tyranny" [1]. New Prime Minister Péter Magyar defended the move as necessary to eliminate what he described as authoritarian influences left behind by Mr. Orbán's administration and to fulfill campaign promises [1]. Conversely, allies of Mr. Orbán characterized the plan as an autocratic step that undermines the rule of law and democratic norms [1]. In his justification for the action, Prime Minister Magyar argued that President Sulyok failed to prevent anti-democratic measures while holding a two-thirds parliamentary majority authorized by parliament [1]. Additionally, the Hungarian government has unlocked 1.64 billion euros (approximately $19 billion) in EU funds intended to finance reforms following alleged democratic regression [1].
