No More Forever PM: Hungary Blocks Viktor Orbán's Comeback
Just when it seemed like one man would rule Hungary until the heat death of the universe, the country's president went ahead and signed a constitutional amendment.
It turns out even in Hungary, political musical chairs has an end state. President Tamás Sulyok has officially approved a constitutional change that imposes a strict limit on prime ministerial terms.
This effectively shuts the door on Viktor Orbán’s grand plan of ruling indefinitely. Once his current run is over, any hopes of a Putin-style "temporary break" followed by a triumphant return are officially dead in the water.
Turns out, even the most carefully built illiberal democracies can still face a sudden, unexpected reality check.
