The Tisza faction led by Prime Minister Péter Magyar did not support President András Baka's candidate for the post of Hungarian prosecutor general. Magyar stated that his party's MPs unanimously rejected the candidacy of Zoltán Szathmáry and called on the president to propose a new candidate. Telex ↗
Magyar also said that the new prosecutor general must be able to restore public trust in the prosecutor's office. According to his statement, the candidate should meet the requirements associated with the independence and credibility of the office. Index.hu ↗
According to his office, President András Baka continues to stand by the position he presented in the National Assembly. He also confirmed that he will not withdraw Zoltán Szathmáry's candidacy. Parliament will therefore have to continue deliberating on the proposal despite the fact that the governing faction did not support it. Telex ↗
The Tisza faction's decision means that the election of a new prosecutor general is becoming more complicated. According to the prime minister's demand, the president will face pressure to put forward a different name, but for now he is sticking with the original nomination. The next steps will depend on negotiations between the president's office, the governing faction, and the parliamentary parties.
