BUDAPEST, April 20 (Reuters) - Hungarian election winner Peter Magyar reiterated on Monday a call for Hungarian President Tamas Sulyok, backed by Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Fidesz party, and top judges to resign by May 31 or face being removed from office.
"We expect the resignation of Orban's puppets," Magyar told a news conference. "May 31 is the deadline until when they can submit their resignation. After then, we will live with our mandate and legal possibilities to remove them from office."
