Hungarian Parliament
VS
Prime Minister Magyar
Péter Magyar is a Hungarian politician who has served as prime minister of Hungary since May 2026 and is the president of the Tisza party.
The Hungarian Parliament is the country's national legislature, in which Magyar's Tisza party holds a two-thirds majority following the 2026 elections.
The Parliament and Prime Minister Magyar have come into conflict over the lifting of parliamentary immunity for Magyar himself and two former ministers from the era of previous prime minister Viktor Orbán.
Parliament voted to lift the immunity of three lawmakers, including Magyar, clearing the way for criminal investigations.
The move represents parliamentary action against a sitting prime minister and former officials, raising questions about the separation of powers and the political motivations behind the investigations.
The broader context includes Magyar's Tisza party using its two-thirds majority to pass constitutional amendments aimed at dismantling Orbán's political network, as well as a parliamentary vote to remove President Tamás Sulyok from office.
These actions have intensified political tensions in Hungary, with Magyar's government pursuing a sweeping restructuring of state institutions while facing legal scrutiny of its own.
