The former attorney general is now bidding farewell to the presidency of AB.

“Make a good shop, choose Dr. Polt!” — Fidesz's election campaign in the early nineties urged voters in Matthias Land. Then, years and decades later, Viktor Orbán chose the political-lawyer for several important positions as head of government: for 19 years (in two installments) as prosecutor general, and for one year as constitutional judge. From now on, not only the former, but also the latter's assurance has ceased to be given to Péter Polt. …

They had to leave due to the Tisza government's constitutional amendment, and the National Assembly has 60 days to find someone to replace them.
