Hungary’s ruling Tisza Party submitted constitutional amendments on Wednesday, May 20, that would prevent former Prime Minister Viktor Orban from ever serving as head of government again. According to Hungarian outlet Telex, the proposal would introduce a two-term limit for Hungarian prime ministers, counting all time served since May 2, 1990.JOIN US ON TELEGRAMFollow our coverage of the war on the @Kyivpost_official. Under the draft amendment, anyone who has served as prime minister for a total of at least eight years – including non-consecutive terms – would no longer be eligible for the position. “Cannot be elected prime minister anyone who has already served at least eight years as prime minister in total,” the proposal states. Orban, who has led Hungary for five terms since 1998, would therefore be barred from returning to office if the amendment is adopted. The proposal was submitted by two Tisza Party lawmakers following Hungarian Prime Minister Péter Magyar’s main campaign promises. The constitutional amendment would require support from a two-thirds majority in parliament to pass. Tisza seeks to dismantle sovereignty office Another part of the proposal would create the constitutional basis for dismantling Hungary’s Sovereignty Protection Office, established in 2023 under Orban’s Fidesz government. The office was created to defend Hungary’s “constitutional identity and Christian culture” and has faced criticism from European Union officials and rights groups over concerns about political pressure and restrictions on civil society.
