Parliament prevents Orbán re-election

Hungary's parliament passed a constitutional amendment imposing an eight-year limit on prime ministers, effectively preventing Viktor Orbán from returning to power since he has served over 20 years. The law also applies to his potential successor, Peter Magyar, who has led the opposition. The amendment was approved by the Budapest parliament and is seen as a move to prevent long-term concentration of power. Orbán's current term ends in 2028, and the new rule would block any future candidacy for him or Magyar.
