The parliamentary faction of the TISZA party has not yet made a final decision on whether it will support the nomination. Party leader Péter Magyar stated that, based on the information available so far, it is not certain whether Szathmáry will receive the support needed for election. He added that the faction will discuss the matter. HVG ↗
TISZA MP Andrea Bujdosó said that faction members learned of the nomination on Monday. After the faction meeting, they listened to President Baka, who explained the reasons for his decision. According to Bujdosó, the faction may not decide on its support until next Monday. Telex ↗
The nomination was also criticized by Lóránt Horváth, chairman of the Ügyvédkör lawyers' association. He described it as a continuation of the power takeover. No further details about the next steps in parliament or the date of the vote have been given yet. Index.hu ↗
Parliament will therefore have to decide on the president's proposal. The outcome will depend on the position of the TISZA faction, which has not yet guaranteed its support for Szathmáry's candidacy. Index.hu ↗
