Who will Péter Magyar sack first as Hungary’s new premier? The first hit list already revealed
Change language:
Péter Magyar’s Tisza Party is poised to form Hungary’s next government as early as May, following a transitional period during which Viktor Orbán will remain as caretaker prime minister. Magyar yesterday urged Orbán to refrain from any significant decisions in the interim.
In his victory speech on Sunday, Magyar named those he expects to resign before his administration takes office. With Tisza’s two-thirds majority in the National Assembly, the party will have the power to draft a new constitution, overhaul Hungary’s laws and – if it chooses – dismiss officials up to and including the president.
Magyar has already called for the immediate resignation of President Tamás Sulyok, issuing the demand shortly after being formally invited to form a government as the victorious party’s leader. Sulyok was elected by Fidesz-KDNP’s supermajority after Katalin Novák stepped down amid the 2024 clemency scandal – the very controversy that propelled Magyar’s political rise and the birth of Tisza.
Speaking at the party’s victory event yesterday, Magyar called on “every puppet installed by the Orbán government over the past 16 years to do the same”.
He also called on the
- chief public prosecutor and the heads of the Kúria (supreme court),
- the National Office of the Judiciary,
- the Constitutional Court,
- the State Audit Office,
- the Hungarian Competition Authority and the
- media authority to quit.
“They must go, rather than waiting to be removed — because they will be; because this system, which hijacked our country and our independent institutions, is over,” Magyar said.

Like we saw in other countries! This is how a globalist takeover looks like. Magyar and his friends are just puppets. I hated what Orbán and Fidesz did to our country, but this is worse!
No worries! Russia is waiting for you with arms wide open!
You should have won the election then. Fact is, Fidesz had an awful campaign and the voters decided. It’s completely normal and expected that key people would have to go as retaining them in position would be akin to keeping a cancer within your body, rendering the country ungovernable. This is democracy in action, the incoming government has been given a massive mandate to do exactly this and every government and opposition supporter knew what will happen, this is a surprise to no one.
