Hungary Appoints Former Supreme Court Judge as New President

11 Ağustos 2026Al Jazeera
  • Hungary has elected Baka as the new president of its supreme court, replacing Tamas Sulyok, who was removed from his position weeks earlier. Baka's election comes as part of a broader campaign led by Prime Minister Tisza aimed at dismantling the power structures established during Orban's tenure.
  • This shift indicates a significant change in Hungary's judicial landscape and governance.
  • The removal of Sulyok and the election of Baka occur in a politically charged atmosphere where Orban's government has faced criticism for undermining democratic institutions. Tisza's campaign has focused on restoring the rule of law and ensuring the judiciary operates free from political interference.
  • Baka's appointment signals a potential pivot in Hungary's judicial independence, reflecting Tisza's commitment to reforming the judiciary and reducing Orban's influence. This move could be seen as a response to growing domestic and international calls for judicial integrity and accountability.
