Hungary's justice administration should be left out of ongoing political squabbles, President Laszlo Solyom said on Tuesday.

Accusations by politicians and local councillors to the effect that the prosecutor's office is politically biased not only undermine public trust in justice administration but are also attempts to exercise political influence on procedures in the office, Solyom said.

The president referred to a March statement by former Prime Minister Ferenc Gyurcsany, who publicly questioned the neutrality of the prosecutor's office and courts.

Solyom added that Gyurcsany had not since presented any concrete examples to support his claim, however.

Solyom said that trust in the neutrality of the prosecutor's office is also endangered when an opposition party pledges to call politicians to account if it gets into government.

"The questioning of neutrality and independence must be rejected, regardless of which side it comes from and for what purpose," Solyom said.
