Adrienn Laczo, a rising star in Hungary's legal scene, resigned after 24 years as a judge, citing the collapse of judicial independence. Following her bold statements on social media, Hungary witnessed an unprecedented protest led by hundreds of judges demanding both independence from the government and better wages. The judges' demonstrations, taking place against Prime Minister Viktor Orban's pressures, reflect a significant turn in Hungary's judicial landscape, which has faced criticism for its lack of transparency and low salaries compared to Europe.
"In Hungary, the independence of the judiciary has been abolished," said Adrienn Laczo, highlighting the alarming state of judicial independence in the country.
Hundreds of judges took to the streets to defend judicial independence and demand better pay, marking a rare display of protest in Hungary against government pressure.
