Episode Details

Hungary’s president has been forced to sign a constitutional amendment that ends his term, following pressure from new Prime Minister Péter Magyar, who accused him of failing to uphold democratic duties. The president condemned the move as a betrayal of the rule of law, while Magyar’s government swiftly dismantles the legacy of the previous regime—sacking political appointees, shutting down state media outlets labeled as propaganda, and launching investigations into past financial misconduct. The amendment also imposes a 12-year term limit on lawmakers and hands power temporarily to the Speaker of Parliament until a new president is elected. Former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán denounced the move as tyranny, but Magyar insists the reforms restore justice and fulfill campaign promises, with plans already underway to nominate his successor.
