Magyar renews resignation ultimatum

Hungary's newly elected Prime Minister Peter Magyar has renewed his stark ultimatum to the country's president and judicial leaders, demanding they resign by May 31, 2026, or face being removed from office. The demand applies to the President of Hungary, the President of the Curia (Supreme Court), the President of the National Office for the Judiciary, and the President of the Constitutional Court. This move signals Magyar's intent to rapidly dismantle the institutional legacy of his predecessor, Viktor Orbán. The ultimatum sets the stage for a major political and constitutional confrontation in the coming weeks.
