Hungary’s parliament, where Magyar’s ruling Tisza party controls a two-thirds majority, approved Baka, a former judge who spent 17 years at the European Court of Human Rights. The 73-year-old was sworn in shortly after the vote, which was boycotted by Orban’s Fidesz party, and called for unity. “There is one thing we certainly cannot do: we cannot build the new Hungary on revenge,” he told parliament. Baka has not been critical of Sulyok’s removal, even though his tenure as a supreme court judge was terminated in 2012 by a similar legislative act. He was a judge at the Strasbourg-based European Court of Human Rights (ECHR) from 1991 to 2008.
