"It's time to leave, Mr. President — while you still can."
Sulyok, a Fidesz-backed Orbán ally, sat awkwardly watching in the Hungarian parliament.

Analysis Summary
Péter Magyar, Hungary's new prime minister, called on President Tamás Sulyok to resign during his inaugural parliamentary speech on May 9, 2026. Sulyok, backed by outgoing Viktor Orbán's Fidesz party, sat in parliament as Magyar demanded his removal—a sharp symbolic break with 16 years of Orbán-era institutional control. Magyar's Tisza party won elections last month ending Orbán's rule, and the resignation demand signals Magyar's intent to dismantle the previous regime's hold on the presidency. TVP World reports Magyar set May 31 as the deadline for Sulyok and other senior officials to step down.
Claims Analysis (3)
“Péter Magyar called on Hungarian President Tamás Sulyok to resign or be removed in his first speech as Hungary's prime minister”
Confirmed by Bloomberg, Guardian, LA Times, CBS News, TVP World. Magyar explicitly demanded Sulyok's resignation in parliament.
“Sulyok is a Fidesz-backed Orbán ally”
Corroborated across sources covering Magyar's confrontation with Orbán-era leadership. Sulyok represents institutional continuity with previous regime.
“Sulyok sat awkwardly watching in the Hungarian parliament during Magyar's speech”
Bloomberg reports 'confrontation in parliament' but sources don't provide direct confirmation of Sulyok's reaction. The core fact (Magyar's demand) is verified; the body language detail is inference.
