András Baka meets interim prosecution leader István Lajtár
President András Baka met with István Lajtár, the Deputy Prosecutor General, who will serve as the interim head of the prosecution until the Hungarian Parliament elects a new Prosecutor General. This meeting follows the resignation of Gábor Bálint Nagy, who stated his departure was intended to prevent the prosecution from being used as a tool in political struggles.
Sándor Palace emphasized that the prosecution must remain an independent constitutional body, and that the President will propose a successor to Parliament based on thorough professional and leadership assessments. The presidency noted that avoiding political consultation during the selection process is essential to maintaining the institution's autonomy and public trust.
Separately, Tisza Party Vice President Márk Radnai addressed criticisms regarding the presidential nomination process. Radnai stated that the party intends to implement more transparent social consultation in the future, including the launch of a new online platform in late August to better connect citizens to the decision-making process.
