AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoPresidential shake-up: Hungary’s PM Péter Magyar has proposed chess legend Judit Polgár as interim president after Parliament backed a constitutional amendment ending President Tamás Sulyok’s mandate; Magyar says he will meet Polgár to ask if she will accept, framing the role as “highest public service” and aiming for unity and a new constitution. Rule-of-law fight: Sulyok signed the amendment but warned it violates rule-of-law and separation-of-powers principles, while the EU’s latest rule-of-law reporting stresses follow-through needs in Hungary’s justice system, including risks of political interference and calls for better transparency in lower courts. Energy policy: Hungary will make nearly 1,000MW of new grid capacity available for wind projects, pushing beyond its EU commitment as regulations ease and tenders are expected after consultations. Justice culture clash: A court chief pushes back against claims made via a minister’s Facebook post, arguing guilt requires legal grounds, not political messaging. EU border pressure: Reports say the EU’s Entry/Exit System is tripling passport-control waits for Britons at some airports, raising summer travel friction.
