The new Hungarian government has been moving at pace to dismantle the governmental, political, and legal structures put in place by the previous Orbán regime. Some of those measures, such as retrospectively limiting Members of Parliament terms to 12-years (3 election cycles) - which disproportionally impacts previous government MPs - and ending the term of the President - an Orbán lackey - forthwith, appear to be on the margins of what constitutes good democratic government. But sometimes you have to fight fire with fire, so I am OK with these measures. These measures go to show that once you break the norms of democratic government has Orbán did - and Trump is doing - you can't go back to the old ways. Rebuilding after a hard-right government has been in power will be a difficult and at times unpalatable process, if it is to sucessfully undo the damage they caused. #HUPol #USPol #NZPol https://telex.hu/english/2026/07/08/fidesz-to-boycott-debate-and-vote-on-constitutional-amendment
