If Sulyok refers it to the court, Magyar has said he will launch impeachment proceedings against him, which would suspend him from office automatically.

I'm sure this is something that could easily be abused, but it seems like the right way to do this.

    It was an abuse of power when established by orbans party after 2010.

    Essentially, they are all falling victim to having someone else hold the authoritarian reigns of power.

    They built the system so orban had all the power. Far too much power for a functioning democracy.

    And now those same rules and laws are being turned against them.
