Polgár rejects candidacy for Hungarian president
Polgár announced that she appreciates the gesture but will not accept the position. According to Hungarian media, she stated that she does not feel she has enough strength to take on the presidential office. Magyar had previously presented her as an independent, non-partisan figure who, in his view, could symbolize the country's unity following the dispute over Sulyok's removal. NOS ↗
The Tisza party announced that it takes note of Polgár's decision with regret, but with respect. Its parliamentary faction is to decide on supporting a candidate only once the names of the contenders for the head of state post are known. Parliament is to elect a new president within thirty days of the position becoming vacant. Telex ↗
The opposition rejects the government's approach. Fidesz declared that it will not take part in selecting the new head of state, because, in its view, Sulyok was removed by force and the question of who the candidate is is therefore irrelevant. Political analyst Gábor Török described Polgár's refusal as the new government's first failure, after having regarded Sulyok's removal as a success in terms of power politics. Telex ↗
Until a new president is elected, constitutional rules provide for the temporary exercise of the head of state's powers. Further developments will focus on the search for a new candidate, on Fidesz's response, and on filling the vacant seats at the Constitutional Court. aktuality.sk ↗
