匈牙利议会于8月11日投票选举安德拉什·巴卡为新总统[1]。巴卡曾担任匈牙利最高法院院长，在奥尔班执政期间被撤职，是对现任政府的批评者[1]。由总理彼得·马扎尔领导的TISZA党以140票赞成、6票反对推动了这一任命[1]。此举是马扎尔在4月赢得大选后推翻奥尔班政治遗产的举措之一[1]。
巴卡于2011年12月在奥尔班掌权后遭撤职[1]。被他替代的前总统塔玛什·苏尤克系由奥尔班于2024年任命[1]。在议会演讲中，巴卡表示"在法治国家中，不能使用这样的非常措施，但匈牙利在奥尔班统治下成为了一个被俘虏的国家"[1]。他同时强调"我们肯定不能做的是：在复仇的基础上建设新匈牙利"[1]。拥有52个席位的Fidesz党选择抵制了此次投票[1]。
Hungary's parliament voted on August 11 to elect Andras Baka as the country's new president [1]. Baka, who previously served as head of Hungary's supreme court before being dismissed during Viktor Orban's tenure in power, has been a prominent critic of the former prime minister [1].
The vote was led by Peter Magyar's TISZA party, which secured the appointment with 140 votes in favor and 6 against [1]. TISZA, which holds 141 seats in parliament, won April's general election and has moved to reverse key aspects of Orban's political legacy [1]. The opposition Fidesz party, which controls 52 seats, boycotted the vote [1]. Baka's predecessor, Tamas Sulyok, had been appointed by Orban in 2024 [1].
In his parliamentary address, Baka stated: "In a rule-of-law state, such extraordinary measures cannot be used, but Hungary has become a captured state under Orban's rule" [1]. He also cautioned against retribution, declaring: "We definitely cannot do this: build a new Hungary on the basis of revenge" [1]. Baka was initially removed from his judicial post in December 2011 after Orban came to power [1].
