The parliament in Budapest - where the new Prime Minister Péter Magyar has an overwhelming majority - has hammered through a constitutional amendment that limits how long a person can be prime minister.
The former Prime Minister Orbán served for 16 years. From now on, a person can serve for a maximum of eight.
In Hungary, the constitution can be amended by a decision by at least two-thirds of the parliament. Under Orbán, the entire constitution was rewritten and amended 15 times.
This amendment also removes constitutional protection for a state agency established by the Orbán regime to investigate individuals, organizations, and media outlets deemed to pose a threat to the country's "constitutional identity."
Orbán was re-elected as leader of the Fidesz party this weekend.
