Péter Magyar announced that on Monday morning he would personally come to see President Tamás Sulyok, to whom he gave an ultimatum to resign by midnight on May 31.
Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar wrote in a social media post on Sunday that he plans to visit President Tamás Sulyok on Monday morning. He gave him a deadline of May 31 for voluntary resignation, TASR writes, according to a report by the MTI agency.
“The deadline for resignation expires at midnight today. The Minister of Justice and I will visit President Tamás Sulyok on Monday at 8:00 a.m.,” the Hungarian Prime Minister wrote in a post on Facebook.
Deadline for withdrawal
After his Tisza party won the April 12 election, Magyar called on Sulyok and other officials appointed under the Fidesz-KDNP bloc government to voluntarily resign by May 31. The president said on Friday that he had asked the Venice Commission to assess the constitutionality of such calls.
In the past, Magyar called Sulyok a “puppet” and a “remnant of the Orbán regime.” In mid-May, the President clearly declared that he would not resign from his post and that he intended to fulfill his mandate and oath.
