Hungary elects a judge dismissed by Orbán
The Hungarian Parliament elected András Baka as the head of state on Tuesday, a former Supreme Court President, in a move aimed at boosting confidence in the reforms intended to restore the rule of law in the country. Baka received 140 votes in his favor, with six votes against. He is expected to serve in an interim capacity until the drafting of a new constitution is completed, which could take from one to one and a half years. It is worth noting that Baka was unexpectedly dismissed from his position as Supreme Court President in 2012, but he considered his removal to be politically motivated, a stance supported by the European Court of Human Rights. He is viewed as a symbol of national unity, in an effort to restore trust in Hungary’s legal system after years of international criticism.
