Hungary acting president Forsthoffer actions

Entities: Bán Dániel · Hungarian government · Magyar Péter · Forsthoffer Ágnes · Pertti Juhani Anttinen

Overview

In late July 2026, Acting President Ágnes Forsthoffer, who is temporarily exercising Hungary’s head‑of‑state powers, declined the traditional chairmanship of the National Memorial Foundation board, a role historically held by the speaker of the National Assembly. A few days later, she signed a series of personnel changes across several ministries, appointing new state secretaries and dismissing others, and reassigned senior civil servants. In the same period she also refused an invitation to the annual Anna‑Ball and awarded the civilian division of the Hungarian Order of Merit to Finland’s ambassador for promoting bilateral relations.
