PM Magyar moves to oust Hungary president, Orban allies

Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar says his government will initiate the president's ‌removal from office with a constitutional amendment, and also launch a constitutional reform later this year.

Magyar also told parliament that his government would launch broad economic, political and ‌legal measures to rid Hungary of corruption, including the creation of a National Asset Protection and Recovery Office.

During a live-streamed address to parliament in Budapest on Monday, Magyar said: "With the operation 'Cleansing Fire' we will free our country from the captivity of the political and economic mafia that has ruled for the past 16 years."
