Hungary’s government plans a constitutional amendment to abolish the presidential office. This move is part of Prime Minister Péter Magyar’s broader strategy to remove officials appointed by former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.

    1. I have told the President that if he maintains his stance and does not resign, I will inform …the lawmakers of Tisza about our legislative proposals today and we will ⁠immediately start the necessary procedures.
    2. It is in Hungary's interest that this institution — the office of the president — regain the prestige that has been eroded by its silence and inaction.
    3. The constitution states quite clearly that the president showcases the unity of the nation and guards the democratic functioning of the state.
    4. Hungary does not belong to Tamás Sulyok, nor to Viktor Orbán. It doesn't belong to a single party or political system.
    1. The constitutional crisis that will ​follow (the legal action promised by Magyar) is going to deepen the division in society and will harm the international reputation of Hungary's democracy.
    1. If this is the path taken by the new government majority, then we can safely say that it is misusing the authority it was granted.
