Thousands of demonstrators gathered in Budapest on Thursday to protest a proposed constitutional amendment that could remove Hungarian President Tamas Sulyok from office, deepening political tensions ahead of the country's 2026 elections. Participants at the rally, organised by supporters of former Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Fidesz party, accused Prime Minister Peter Magyar and the Tisza Party of undermining constitutional order and the rule of law. Former President Janos Ader warned that the proposed amendment was unprecedented and could lead to legal uncertainty, while protesters carried banners reading "Stop Tyranny" and "A dictatorship must be suppressed in its infancy." The amendment would introduce changes affecting several public offices and impose term limits on lawmakers. #Gjwnews#WorldNewsUpdates#Neutral#worldnews

A speaker denounces the legal persecution of Istvan Csakács, who was accused of terrorism after supporting Viktor Orbán. The discourse frames this as an attack on the Constitution and democracy, while further criticizing Peter Magyar and the Tisza party for proposed constitutional amendments that the speaker claims will lead to anarchy and the loss of national wealth.
I'm part of an incredible story.
Basically, because of a video, because of a Facebook post, the police came to my house,
and now they are trying to accuse me of a crime that this video content had absolutely nothing to do with.
This is a trampling of the Constitution, the trampling of the rule of law and the death of democracy.
If this is how it stays and they remove the President of the Republic, then we must stand by them.
Here is the case of Istvan Csakács, who, according to the authorities,
became a terrorist just because he dared to stand up for Viktor Orban.
I would like to say that on this basis, indeed, it is so.
My dear friends!
It is good to hear this from you, but I would like to share with you that on this basis,
there are thousands of terrorists standing here in the square now, right?
That's what he's talking about.
Absurd, absurd, but we live in this grotesque world.
I and him.
Indeed, Istvan Csakács stood up for Viktor Orban.
And I ask you to stand up for Istvan Csakács.
And I ask Istvan Csakács to come out onto the stage.
Peter Magyar wants to abolish the qualified constitutional protection of Hungarian land and national wealth.
S.O.T. János Áder, former Hungarian president, Hungarian,
what the Tisza party is preparing for is unprecedented in the European Union.
And let's say a few more words about the consequences.
First of all, after this constitutional amendment, anything can happen to anyone at any time in Hungary.
And this leads not to legal certainty but to anarchy.
Secondly, for the president elected to replace Thomas Szuliak, whoever they may be,
what kind of authority will they have?
The way he spoke with the president of the republic is simply outrageous, shocking,
and you cannot do such a thing.
They didn't do that to the previous president of the republic either.
And that he wasn't in that government, and yet,
it wasn't even this bad during the regime change.
This already completely reflects the Rákóczi era, Macsás Rákóczi, former prime minister.
I lived during the Rákóczi era as well.
I didn't know what was happening back then, what the attic sweeping was back then,
and there were informants.
