Hungarian lawmakers are scheduled to vote on a constitutional amendment to remove the president allied with Viktor Orban, The Japan Times reported on July 13. Prime Minister Peter Magyar is leading the effort. Magyar's Tisza party holds a two-thirds majority in parliament, making passage of the amendment almost certain.
The vote follows an April national election that delivered a landslide defeat to Orban and ended his 16-year rule. Magyar has pledged to rebuild the rule of law in the European Union member state. Orban's tenure included crackdowns on civil society and independent media as he sought to create an illiberal state, The Japan Times reported.
