Hungary’s president signs a constitutional amendment ending his term

Hungary’s president, Tamás Sulyok, was forced to sign a constitutional amendment that abruptly ends his term, closing a high-profile power struggle after Péter Magyar’s election win.
Magyar’s new government has quickly rolled back Orbán-era institutions (suspending public media service, closing the Sovereignty Protection Office) and pushed judicial and anti-corruption reforms, including a 12‑year term limit for lawmakers.
The move has sharply polarized Hungary — Sulyok and Viktor Orbán denounce it as a trampling of democracy, while Magyar says it restores the people’s rights.
