Prosecutor General Nagy Also Refuses Resignation — Second Fidesz-Era Official Defies Magyar

| Hungary

Prosecutor General Gábor Bálint Nagy also allowed the May 31 deadline to pass without stepping down, making him the second Fidesz-era institutional officeholder to defy the new government after President Sulyok. Nagy reiterated that he had experienced 'no political pressure' during his tenure and characterized his work as 'purely professional.' His position carries a fixed term that cannot be cut short by executive demand. The dual refusal by Sulyok and Nagy — both appointed by Fidesz's former parliamentary supermajority — highlights the structural challenge facing the Magyar government: democratic transition requires either accepting Orbán-era institutional holdovers for years, or using Tisza's 141-seat majority to legislate new removal mechanisms.
