Hungary's parliament has approved the 17th amendment to the constitution, voting to remove President Tamás Sulyok from office. The move is part of a broader restructuring of the country's political institutions.
Prime Minister Péter Magyar said the change was a key step that would allow what he called "Orbán's political puppets" to be replaced. No successor to Sulyok has yet been named.
The decision comes amid ongoing tension in Hungarian domestic politics and is being closely watched elsewhere in Europe for what it signals about the balance of power within the country's institutions. Opposition figures offered differing views on how the amendment should be implemented.
