Speaker Forsthoffer Bars Mi Hazánk Leader Toroczkai From Parliament Sessions Over Slur Against Magyar
Speaker of the National Assembly Ágnes Forsthoffer excluded Mi Hazánk faction leader László Toroczkai from this week's parliamentary sessions on the evening of September 8, after Toroczkai called PM Péter Magyar a 'disgusting worm' during a personal statement defending his party against corruption allegations. Forsthoffer ruled the remark violated the constitutionally protected right to human dignity, stating she 'firmly rejects all statements that seriously violate human dignity against anyone.' Toroczkai retains the right to vote but is barred from other floor proceedings for the week. The episode is the first high-profile use of Forsthoffer's disciplinary powers as Speaker against a sitting far-right MP since she took the chair in May.
