András Baka's second candidate has already passed, the new chief prosecutor has been elected
Péter Fejes was elected as Hungary's Chief Prosecutor with a mandate of nine years, promising professionalism and political neutrality. His appointment follows the rejection of the previous candidate, Szathmáry Zoltán. Fejes aims to restore public trust in the prosecution service and implement significant organizational changes. He has a long career in the judiciary, previously serving as the chief prosecutor of Veszprém County and involved in high-profile cases. His predecessor, Gábor Bálint, resigned amid political pressure. Fejes emphasizes the need for a non-partisan approach and intends to address past grievances within the prosecution system.
