Orbán l’avait écarté : quatorze ans plus tard, András Baka devient président de la Hongrie

Le Parlement hongrois a élu András Baka à la présidence du pays. L’ancien président de la Cour suprême avait vu son mandat interrompu en 2012 après avoir critiqué les réformes de Viktor Orbán. Quatorze ans plus tard, il revient comme chef de l’État.

Hungary's newly elected President Andras Baka is pictured after he was elected at the parliament in Budapest on August 11, 2026. Hungarian lawmakers elected former supreme court chief Andras Baka, who was fired under ex-premier Viktor Orban, as the country's next head of state. The post became vacant following the contested removal of the previous president Tamas Sulyok, an Orban ally, as pro-EU conservative Prime Minister Peter Magyar pushes to loosen his predecessor's lingering hold over state institutions. Magyar's ruling Tisza party nominated Baka -- who served 17 years as a judge on the European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) -- for the largely ceremonial role. Magyar's party won April 2026 elections, ending nationalist Orban's 16 years in power and promising "system change". Attila KISBENEDEK / AFP
