On June 15, the Hungarian parliament supported changes to the basic law, which limit the possible term of office for a prime minister to eight years — including with breaks.
The rule will apply to all individuals who have held the prime minister's post since May 2, 1990 — meaning, also to ex-Prime Minister Viktor Orban, closing his potential path to return after 16 years in power.
His Fidesz party criticizes the amendments for "personal bias" and "retroactive force" and notes that such rules do not exist in any parliamentary democracy in Europe.
Earlier, the Hungarian parliament voted to cut MPs' salaries by 40%.
Last weekend, at the Fidesz congress, Orban was re-elected chairman of the party.
