Day 23
That morning, opposition leaders Lázár Kádár and Dorko Vörösz met with General Pál Fülöp in the parliament building. Gyöngy Székély was also present in the meeting. Kádár reportedly told Fülöp that the opposition demanded President Géza Békésy resignation, a legislative investigation on the last election, and a new provisional government until presidential elections which would be called in two months, in case that was not accepted, Kádár said that opposition would continue with the protests. General Fülöp opposed that, threatening that Armed Forces would take charge of the state institutions if there was no agreement between opposition and government. However, Fülöp promised that all citizens arrested since the beginning of the protests, including several members of the opposition, would be released immediately without charges, and that impeachment against Békésy would be started. Still without agreement, Kádár and Vörösz left the parliament building and met with other members of the opposition in Szuverén square. Minutes later, mayor Martin Grosz was seen entering the parliament building, including the rumours that Martin Grosz be appointed as "provisional president" by the Armed Forces.
Meanwhile, in Újnagyváros, President Géza Békésy addressed supporters declaring that "the coup d'etat...against the legitimate Keszarian government" had failed. He demanded the international community to condemn the events in Köszövár, and called for assistance from Keszarian allies "in case it was necessary to restore order and the constitutional government of Keszaria".
The opposition was increasingly divided about what to do. Several members of the National Committee of Democratic Restoration called to reject any agreement and continue with the protest. When Lázár Kádár addressed the crowd declaring that a "moderate position may be needed to save Keszarian democracy", some people in the crowd booed him. A leader from one small student organization from Vízdél proposed that protestests storm the parliament the next day and a "new democratic government", receiving a huge applause. However, when opposition member Katalin Kárpáti declared that the opposition was going to start an impeachment process against President Békésy as soon as the parliament was reopened, the mood in the square seemed to calm down. Dorko Vörösz, who many believed that could be become the acting president in a provisional government, promised that "the democratic martyrs won't be forgotten" and that government officials will pay for their crimes".
Day 24
The National Assembly reopened the next day, the first day since the failed inauguration of the parliament. Protesters were surrounding the parliament, applauding opposition lawmakers and chanting any kind of proposals while they entered the building. When they saw a group of Keszarian Liberal Movement lawmakers approaching the building through the backdoor, protesters shouted at them, insulting them and some even threw some objects at them. Gyöngy Székély had some eggs impacted on her face, while other lawmakers weren't that lucky, with one them receiving the impact of a stone on the head, and it was forced to be attended by emergency services.
The session was expected to start a 10:00, but Speaker Gyöngy Székély suspended the session for two hours. It was unclear what was going to happen, and what kind of parliament would open: if the parliament before the elections, where the opposition had only a minority of seats, or the parliament according the "official result", which the opposition had rejected to recognize, and where the ruling Keszarian Liberal Movement had still a clear majority of seats.
However, it was clear soon that the parliament was almost half-empty, as many Keszarian Liberal Movement MPs had showed at the sessions. A large number of Keszarian Liberal Movement MPs and government officials, including several ministers, had left Köszövár the days before and they hadn't returned. It was reported that several ministers had even flown the country. Still, the Keszarian Liberal Movement had still a small majority in the parliament.
The opposition rejected to voted for the election for the Speaker of the Assembly, as they claimed that would imply to "recognize...a rigged election". Gyöngy Székély was the main candidate for Speaker of the Assembly, a position she had held since 1590. However, she barely received one-third of the votes by from her own Keszarian Liberal Movement MPs, so it was needed to repeat the vote at least five teams until she was elected Speaker of the Assembly with a simple majority. Then, Speaker Gyögy Székély suspended the session for thirty minutes. However, it was not still until 13:11 when the session of the parliament was reopened.
Opposition lawmaker Szabina Kecskeméti took the word as the session was reopened, proposing an extraordinary legislative proposal, which included starting an impeachment process against President Géza Békésy. The charges included embezzlement of state funds, violation of the constitutional order, and even alleged extrajudicial killings, which provoked voices and protests from Keszarian Liberal Movement MPs. However, Speaker Gyögy Székély accepted the proposal and called it to submit to a vote immediately, despite protests of lawmakers from her own parliamentary group.
The National Assembly approved impeachment charges against President Géza Békésy for violation of the constitutional order and perversion of justice by a 139-42 vote. All votes against came from the ruling Keszarian Liberal Movement, although a few of them voted for the impeachment while about half of them abstained. However, seven other charges, including the most controversial involvement in alleged extrajudicial killings, were rejected by the majority of the Keszarian Liberal Movement MPs.
As a consequence, President Géza Békésy was suspended on his executive duties. From Újnagyváros, President Géza Békésy denounced the vote in the National Assembly as "an illegal process", arguing that the there was a lack of quorum established by the constitution an failed to obtain a two-third majority. However, General Pál Fülöp declared hours later that the Armed Forces accepted the decision of the parliament, arguing that "circumstances of extreme urgency" justified it.
As Vice-President Deszö Kerekes had resigned, the Speaker of the Assembly, Gyögy Székély, was to become acting president. However, a group of Keszarian Liberal Movement lawmakers tried to claim that Kerekes hadn't resign officially so he should take charge in case that the impeachment was confirmed by the Senate. However, Kerekes was nowhere to be seen, and Székély was confirmed as acting president.
Meanwhile, in Luykvár province, governor David Donáth used local security forces and para-military groups to break up the demonstrations against the government and disperse them by force. There were increasing rumours that Lanlanian forces could be mobilized and intervene in the coming days, although it was unclear if they would be assisting President Géza Békésy or the new government in Köszövár.
Gyögy Székély addressed the nation that evening in a television speech. She demanded unity and pacience to the nation in order to "solve this political crisis together". She announced that the Senate would vote to confirm President Géza Békésy impeachment in a week, and announced that all protesters and opposition lawmakers were going to be released immediately.
That morning, opposition leaders Lázár Kádár and Dorko Vörösz met with General Pál Fülöp in the parliament building. Gyöngy Székély was also present in the meeting.
