Hungarian parliament votes for 8-year term limit that would stop Orbán returning
Hungarian parliament passed a constitutional amendment limiting prime ministers to eight years in office, retroactively targeting Viktor Orbán, who served 20 years. The amendment, part of reforms by current Prime Minister Peter Magyar, faces potential rejection by Fidesz-appointed President Tamás Sulyok, who has refused to resign and could return the legislation for reconsideration.
