- Hungary PM proposes chess great Judit Polgar for president
Hungary's Prime Minister Peter Magyar proposes chess legend Judit Polgar for president, citing a need for unity and a political outsider. Polgar, a top-ranked woman chess player with no political ties, faces criticism for being an unorthodox choice. The move follows Magyar's political shift after ending Viktor Orban's 16-year rule and removing unpopular President Tomas Sulyok via constitutional amendment.
