00:08presidency at midnight on Sunday.
00:10Sulyok had five days to sign the amendment or risk a protracted constitutional crisis and impeachment proceedings.
00:18In a video posted on his social media page, Sulyok confirmed he would agree to the law change as the
00:24deadline passed on Saturday evening.
00:26I am fulfilling my obligation under the fundamental law after thoroughly weighing my legal options and my conscience.
00:35My signature is the final seal of my obligations as President of the Republic and of my complete and unconditional
00:43respect for the office of the President of the Republic under all circumstances, the Hungarian head of state stated.
00:51Sulyok's decision to stand down comes after Maya's dictator party used its majority to streamroll the law change through parliaments
01:00to oust the Hungarian president, widely seen as a loyalist of former Prime Minister Viktor Orban, who lost power in
01:06April after 16 years.
