Summary
Hungary’s new Prime Minister Péter Magyar is unleashing “Operation Purifying Fire” to dismantle what he calls the “Orbán mafia,” potentially ousting top figures like President Tamás Sulyok. With a sweeping constitutional overhaul set to begin in September, Magyar also plans to reinstate a 70-year mandatory retirement for Constitutional Court judges, impose a 12-year term limit for lawmakers, and launch a new anti-corruption agency. While his party swept April’s elections with a mandate for change, Sulyok warns of a looming constitutional crisis. Public input on the reforms is open until July 27, with key votes likely delayed until fall. Experts are watching closely as Magyar tries to reshape Hungary’s political and legal landscape under intense pressure. Support the show: Get a discount at https://solipillow.com/discount/dnn.
