Hungary's ruling Tisza party moves to limit prime ministerial terms
Hungary's ruling Tisza party has proposed a constitutional amendment to limit prime ministerial terms to a maximum of eight years. This change would prevent former Prime Minister Viktor Orban from returning to the role after his long tenure. The amendment also aims to restore democratic checks and balances by dissolving certain bodies established under Orban's government.
- ▪The proposed amendment would bar anyone who has served as prime minister for eight years from being elected again.
- ▪Prime Minister Peter Magyar intends to use his parliamentary super majority to change legislation from Orban's era.
- ▪The amendment includes provisions to dissolve the Sovereignty Protection Office and reclaim assets from public-interest foundations.
