❗️Today in Hungary, the new Prime Minister, Péter Magyar, in his inaugural speech after being elected Prime Minister, demanded the resignation of all the heads of constitutional organs elected by the previous, democratically elected parliament simply because they “stand in the way” of the so-called “democratic renewal”. He set May 31 as a deadline.
In an angry outburst, he called on the President of Hungary to resign immediately – the same President who proposed him to be elected as Prime Minister.
How can it be reconciled with the “rule of law” that the Prime Minister of a new government — who was able to take over the leadership of the country according to the legal order, and thanks to the visible functioning of the very institutions he is now attacking — launches an open and total assault against the country’s constitutional institutions and their leaders?
The previous Hungarian patriotic government, which has been attacked for years with countless unfounded accusations of autocracy, never did anything like this.
❗️A campaign of revenge has been launched against the Hungarian patriotic community that received 39% and 2.5 million votes.
❗️Europe cannot remain silent on such relentless attacks on democratic institutions and constitutional order.
