schema:articleBody	Hungarian MPs on Monday approved a new president for the country's supreme court in the face of fierce criticism from judges, who fear for the independence of the judiciary. Two-thirds of lawmakers in the parliament dominated by Prime Minister Viktor Orban's Fidesz party backed 52-year-old Zsolt Andras Varga in the vote. The nine-year appointment of Varga, a law lecturer with links to Orban loyalists, was bitterly opposed by the National Judicial Council (OBT), a supervisory body. Thanks to changes in the law, the supreme court chief no longer needs five years of experience as a judge. The OBT saw the changes as designed to smooth Varga's path, making his election "contrary to the principle of judicial independence," spokesman Viktor Vadasz tweeted. Orban has faced waves of criticism from the European Union over allegations he has systematically dismantled checks to his power, including the courts. When he returned to power in 2010, he curbed the authority of the constitutional court. In 2018, the European Parliament accused Hungary of a "serious violation" of EU values and activated a procedure under Article 7 of the EU Treaty, which in theory can lead to sanctions. In September this year, the European Commission published its first comparative report on respect for the rule of law, expressing "serious concerns" about the consequences of Hungary's justice reforms. mg-anb/jxb/tgb
