The appointment of Zsolt András Varga was unanimously rejected by the National Council of Judges, however, it will probably be voted on by parliament.

As it will be decided by secret two-thirds vote, if János Áder’s candidate with no judicial record, András Varga, will even run for the presidency of the Curia, even Viktor Orbán will sit in the Chamber, and the vote will probably go smoothly. . Therefore, the opposition deputies rose and left the Chamber when they reached the item on the agenda on this issue.

The MSZP proposed to postpone the vote, but MPs voted against it. The secret ballot is still ongoing, and it is expected to be official just before 5 p.m. to see if Varga has become the country’s chief judge for nine years.

The candidacy of Zsolt András Varga was possible thanks to two recent reforms to the law that, according to the National Council of Magistrates, which rejected his candidacy, “cannot comply with the constitutional requirement that a person independent from other branches of power be considered in the top of the judicial system “.

The candidate for president of the Supreme Court was also heard by the Parliamentary Judicial Committee on Thursday and unsurprisingly supported his nomination with nine votes in favor and two against.
