Hungary's president agrees to stand down after parliament backs removal

Core point

Hungarian President Tamás Sulyok has agreed to resign after signing a constitutional amendment. The amendment was pushed through parliament by Prime Minister Péter Magyar's Tisza party, which views Sulyok as a loyalist of the former government. Sulyok accused the government of violating the rule of law and described the amendment as a breaking point in Hungarian constitutional democracy. The Tisza party has implemented significant constitutional changes since their victory in April.
