In Hungary, the post of prime minister will be forbidden for more than two terms. This will deprive Viktor Orban of the opportunity to lead the country again.

The leader of the "Tisa" party, Péter Magyar, which won the parliamentary elections in Hungary, announced his intention to amend the Constitution, which will limit the tenure of the prime minister to two terms. This is reported by FT. "This ceiling will also apply to him [Viktor Orbán], which means he will no longer be prime minister," Magyar said. Today, Péter Magyar repeated this point after a meeting with the President of Hungary, Tamás Sulyok. "I, as the future prime minister, would be glad if we could further limit the powers of the Hungarian prime minister with a system of checks and balances," the politician said. Magyar called on the president to resign – Sulyok is "morally unfit" for the position. All other appointees of Orbán should also leave their posts, he said. In addition, Magyar announced his intention to suspend the work of state media and develop a new media law. He accused state media of becoming accomplices in the activities of Orbán and his "Fidesz" party. Following the elections held on April 12, Magyar's party receives a constitutional majority in parliament, allowing it to amend the basic law unilaterally.
