Orban promised to resist the Magyar because of the removal of the Hungarian president.

On July 13, former Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban and his Fidesz-Hungarian Civil Union party promised to resist the new government led by Peter Magyar, which is trying to dismiss President Tamas Szujok.

"If the President of the republic is forcibly removed from office, Hungary will have the right to resist. And we will provide it," the politician wrote on Facebook (banned in Russia, owned by Meta, a company recognized as extremist in Russia).

He also posted a black-and-white portrait of a Magyar with the inscription "Democratic Hungary. 1990–2026».

Orban confirmed that he considers unconstitutional the 17th amendment to the basic law, which provides for the removal of the current head of state.

Old songs about the main thing: Hungarian media are changing their rhetoric

State media have begun to soften their tone towards the opposition and the EU, but systemic changes are still far away.

On July 13, the Hungarian parliament adopted the 17th amendment to the country's Constitution, which provides for the procedure for removing the president and imposing restrictions on the number of parliamentary terms.

On July 11, Magyar threatened the president with launching impeachment proceedings if Shujok did not leave office voluntarily. A day earlier, on July 10, a rally was held in Budapest against Magyar's proposal to dismiss the head of state. The Magyar Nemzet newspaper noted on June 30 that the excessively radical actions of the current Hungarian Prime Minister are causing concern in the West and may lead to the return to power of former Prime Minister Viktor Orban.
