Hungary Faces Political Upheaval: Prime Minister Magyar Seeks Constitutional Change

Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar announced plans to amend the constitution to facilitate the removal of the current president. A comprehensive constitutional reform is scheduled for the autumn, focusing on combating corruption and protecting public assets. The government's plans extend beyond the presidency, with a more extensive reform process set to begin in the coming months.This reform is expected to bring about significant changes to Hungary's political system, legal order, and public administration, reshaping the country's governance structure. Prime Minister Magyar emphasized that these steps aim to make the state mechanism more transparent and functional. The government has pledged to tackle corruption allegations decisively, and a new office, the National Assets Protection and Recovery Office, will be established to safeguard public resources. This office will be responsible for protecting public assets and recovering those that have been illegally transferred.
