Hungary’s parliament approves constitutional amendment to oust president

Why This Matters

The Hungarian parliament's approval of a constitutional amendment to oust President Katalin Novák marks a significant escalation in the country's ongoing political tensions, potentially undermining the separation of powers and the rule of law. This development has far-reaching implications for Hungary's democratic institutions and its relationship with the European Union. The move also raises concerns about the erosion of checks and balances in the country's governance.
