Hungary’s parliament approves a constitutional amendment that limits the prime minister’s time in office to a maximum of eight years, effectively preventing former premier Viktor Orbán from returning to the role. The vote follows the formation of a new government after Orbán was removed in an April election, in which Péter Magyar became prime minister. Multiple outlets report that Magyar secured a two-thirds majority in parliament, enabling constitutional changes and other revisions to legislation previously adopted under Orbán’s Fidesz government. The amendment is described as fulfilling a campaign promise by Magyar to stop Orbán from becoming prime minister again. Additional reporting says the package also includes institutional and governance changes aimed at reducing the influence of bodies created during Orbán’s previous governments. One outlet specifically cites reforms that affect state-linked institutions, including the Sovereignty Protection Office and certain asset foundations, shifting oversight back toward government control. Overall, the amendment restructures eligibility for the top executive role while also adjusting elements of state institutions associated with the prior administration.
