Hungary's constitutional amendment creates uncertainty in parliamentary term limits

hvg.hu (Hungarian)

A proposed amendment to Hungary's Fundamental Law contains a contradictory clause regarding parliamentary term limits. This ambiguity could lead to varying term restrictions for different representatives. The amendment, submitted by Prime Minister Péter Magyar, aims to limit parliamentary terms to a maximum of three cycles, totaling twelve years. However, a poorly worded addition has created legal uncertainty about its application. This amendment is part of a broader constitutional change, criticized for its rushed nature and its implications for the presidential office, alongside the term limit issue.
