- Hungary lawmakers fill key court vacancy despite criticism
Hungary's Parliament elected Pal Sonnevend as a Constitutional Court judge under Prime Minister Peter Magyar, a process criticized for its speed and resemblance to practices of former leader Viktor Orban. The vote replaced Csaba Hende, a former defense minister under Orban, and drew opposition from ex-governing parties Fidesz and KDNP, which called the vacancy 'unlawful.'
