Péter Darák

Péter Darák is a Hungarian legal figure who was appointed as the head of the Kúria, Hungary's Supreme Court, following significant constitutional changes instituted by the government of Viktor Orbán. His appointment came amid a contentious political environment, where the independence of the judiciary was under scrutiny. Darák's rise to prominence reflects the ongoing struggles within Hungary's legal system, particularly after András Baka, a former president of the Supreme Court, was ousted due to reforms perceived as undermining judicial independence.
