Parliament again rejects President's nominee for Supreme Court chief
Hungary's Parliament on Monday rejected for the second time President Laszlo Solyom's nominee for the Supreme Court president - Maria Orban Havasi.
In a vote of 230 in favour, 123 against and 12 invalid votes, Orban Havasi's candidacy was rejected in a secret ballot on Monday.
Orban Havasi's nomination was first rejected by parliament on December 8 last year but Solyom renewed her nomination on January 20, 2009.
Orban Havasi was Solyom's second choice for the post. His previous nominee -- former member of the Strasbourg-based European Court of Human Rights Andras Baka -- also failed to get the necessary two-thirds majority in Parliament.
The high court has been without a chief justice since June 24, when the six-year term of Zoltan Lomnici expired.
