AGP Executive Report
Last update: 6 hours agoHungary’s Presidency: Hungary’s parliament has elected András Baka, a former Supreme Court president and ECHR judge, as the country’s new president, with the Tisza party backing him and Fidesz boycotting the vote—an important step in Péter Magyar’s push to reshape state institutions. Rule-of-law Fallout: Baka’s election follows the earlier removal of President Tamás Sulyok, a move rights groups said echoed Orbán-era tactics, while Baka vowed a future “not built on revenge.” Ukraine’s Reaction: Zelensky praised the vote as “another important step” in Hungary’s renewal, alongside similar congratulations from Romania and Serbia. Roads & EU Money: Hungary plans to renew 570 km of national roads at 210 locations this year, with nearly 149 billion forints earmarked, including EU TOP Plusz funding. Heat & Power: Extreme heat is driving up European electricity prices, with France and Germany seeing day-ahead jumps of over 20% as nuclear and wind output face weather limits. Sziget Tech: Yettel says it boosted mobile capacity by 20% for Sziget Festival in Budapest to handle peak crowds.
