Hungary's government proposes constitutional amendment limiting prime ministers to eight-year terms
Hungary's new government, led by Péter Magyar and his Tisza party, has submitted a constitutional amendment that would limit prime ministers to a maximum of eight years in office. The amendment effectively bars Viktor Orbán from returning to the premiership. Magyar promised term limits during his campaign as part of efforts to restore democratic checks and balances after Orbán's lengthy tenure rewrote the constitution multiple times.
