布达佩斯,11月2日 —— 匈牙利总理彼得·马扎尔周一表示,执政的提萨党将批准总统提名的首席检察官人选,这是马扎尔在4月大选获胜后重塑公共机构努力中的重要一步。
BUDAPEST, Nov 2 - Hungary's governing Tisza party will approve the president's nominee for chief prosecutor, Prime Minister Peter Magyar said on Monday, a significant step in Magyar's efforts to reshape public institutions after his April election victory.
任命新任首席检察官是马扎尔反腐败行动的核心,他将该行动称为“炼狱行动”。
Appointing a new chief prosecutor is central to Magyar's anti-corruption drive which he has dubbed "Operation Purgatory".
自5月执政以来,马扎尔领导的中右翼提萨党已撤换了前总理欧尔班·维克托提拔至关键公职的多名人物,包括首席检察官、宪法法院院长、媒体管理局局长和匈牙利总统。前首席检察官加博尔·鲍林特·纳吉于7月提交辞呈。
Since taking power in May, Magyar's centre-right Tisza party has removed several figures promoted by former Prime Minister Viktor Orban to key public positions, including the chief prosecutor, the head of the constitutional court, the head of the media authority, and Hungary's president. Former chief prosecutor Gabor Balint Nagy submitted his resignation in July.
马扎尔周一在脸书发文称,其党的议会党团将批准总统安德拉什·鲍考提名的新任首席检察官人选彼得·费耶什。
Magyar said in a Facebook post on Monday that his party's parliamentary group would approve President Andras Baka's new nominee for chief prosecutor, Peter Fejes.
现年66岁的费耶什去年退休,职业生涯完全在检察机关度过。他专长刑法、欧盟法和体育法。
Fejes, 66, retired last year after a career spent entirely in the prosecution service. He specialises in criminal law, European Union law and sports law.
首席检察官任期九年,需获得议会三分之二多数支持,这一门槛提萨党凭自身力量即可达到。提萨党此前曾拒绝鲍考的首位首席检察官提名人选。
The chief prosecutor is elected to a nine-year term and requires the support of a two-thirds majority in parliament, a threshold Magyar's party can meet on its own. Tisza had rejected Baka's first nominee for chief prosecutor.
在马扎尔领导下,匈牙利还加入了欧洲检察官办公室,并设立了国家资产保护与追回办公室,以调查欧尔班执政16年间的涉嫌腐败行为,前总理否认了这些指控。
Under Magyar, Hungary has also joined the European Public Prosecutor's Office and set up the National Asset Protection and Recovery Office to investigate alleged corruption during Orban's 16-year rule, allegations the former prime minister has denied.
马扎尔表示,包括公共资金挪用在内的腐败,近年来已使匈牙利人损失了国内生产总值的8%至10%。
Magyar has said corruption, including misuse of public funds, has cost Hungarians 8% to 10% of gross domestic product in recent years.
欧尔班政府的两名前部长和前央行行长乔尔吉·马托尔奇目前因贪腐指控被捕。
Two former ministers from Orban's government and former central bank chief Gyorgy Matolcsy are currently under arrest over graft accusations.
