Hungary's 16th Amendment Limits PM Tenure

Hungary's parliament passed the 16th amendment to the Fundamental Law, limiting the prime minister's term to 8 years.
The amendment bars Viktor Orban from returning to office.
The amendment passed with 135 votes for, 50 against, and six abstentions.
Prime Minister Peter Magyar promoted term limits as a campaign promise to oust Orban.
Fidesz opposed the amendment, arguing it could restrict popular will.
Magyar cited Orban's power concentration as a reason for the amendment.
The meeting ends the spring session, with Tisza leading at 68% and Fidesz between 20-25% in polls.
