Hungarian President clashes with main Orbán-challenger Magyar on Facebook

President Tamás Sulyok called out opposition Tisza Party leader Péter Magyar for trying to “lecture” him on legal matters and the obligations of his position in a post on social media with the title “Everything in its proper place” on Saturday.

Responding to a statement by Magyar calling for “a real presidential speech” addressing the state of Hungary, Sulyok said the opposition party leader had repeatedly accused him of “being in arrears” in promoting the nation’s interests and had sought to support that claim with “petty lies”.

Sulyok warned against “illegitimate political agitation in a primitively arrogant manner” and suggested a closer reading of the constitution “that might even help one become a responsible politician”.
