Hungary elects new president after controversial pardon scandal. Katalin Novak, appointed in March 2022, resigned two weeks ago.
Prime Minister Viktor Orban, faced with his most serious political crisis since 2010. To replace her, the ruling Fidesz party has chosen a much more discreet profile, namely the 67-year-old jurist Tamas Sulyok, who has headed the Constitutional Court since 2016. The vote of the deputies is scheduled for around 4:40 p.m., for a somewhat expected result later.
