Hungary’s Prime Minister Péter Magyar plans to nominate Judit Polgár, a famous chess player, as the country’s new president. This move follows a political conflict with the current president and efforts to change the constitution and reduce the influence of the previous leader’s party.
Key Facts
Péter Magyar is Hungary’s Prime Minister and leader of the Tisza party.
Magyar wants Judit Polgár, known as the greatest female chess player, to become president.
The current president, Tamás Sulyok, appointed under former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, was forced to end his term early after a constitutional change.
Magyar’s party has a two-thirds majority in parliament, making it easy to pass laws.
Some human rights groups criticized the rapid constitutional changes as a return to past undemocratic practices.
Judit Polgár was a top female chess champion, youngest grandmaster at 15, and beat male world champions.
Magyar said Polgár’s role as president would last until a new constitution is made, with a maximum five-year term.
Magyar’s government is quickly undoing many policies and institutions linked to Orbán’s time in power.

In Delhi, tens of thousands of young people are protesting against India's education system and calling for the resignation of the education minister. The protests are led by the Cockroach Janta Party (CJP), a youth movement that started as a joke on the internet but grew after issues with a national medical entrance exam caused anger and distress.
Key Facts
The Cockroach Janta Party (CJP) began as a satirical online group but quickly grew into a large youth protest movement.
The movement’s leader is Abhijeet Dipke, a 30-year-old former student from Boston University.
The protests intensified after Sonam Wangchuk, an engineer and activist supporting CJP, was forcefully taken to hospital during his 20-day hunger strike.
The CJP name mocks India’s ruling Bharatiya Janata Party (BJP) and originated from a comment by India’s Chief Justice comparing certain youths to cockroaches.
The main issue is the National Eligibility cum Entrance Test (NEET), a medical college entrance exam that was cancelled over exam paper leaks.
Around 2.28 million students took the exam, and some 20 students reportedly died by suicide linked to the exam situation.
CJP demands include reforming the education system, better accountability for exam leaks, and the resignation of Education Minister Dharmendra Pradhan.
Monday’s protest was the largest recent demonstration in Delhi against Prime Minister Modi’s government and drew support from opposition politicians.
