Former Judge Baka Elected President of Hungary
In a significant political shift, former European Court of Human Rights judge András Baka has been elected as the new President of Hungary. His election is viewed as a departure from the long-standing dominance of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán's political era. Baka's appointment comes amid ongoing domestic and international scrutiny of Hungary's rule of law and its relationship with the European Union, signaling a potential change in the country's judicial alignment.
