Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orbán has announced a political operation dubbed “Purge,” aiming for significant changes within the country’s leadership and legal system. The initiative includes efforts to remove the current president and overhaul the constitution. Orbán stated a referendum will be held to validate the new constitution. This move follows accusations from Fidesz, Orbán’s party, labeling opponents as a “mafia.” The announcement signals a potential power struggle and a desire to consolidate control over key institutions, particularly the judiciary, with the intention of reshaping Hungary’s political landscape. The specifics of the “Purge” operation and the proposed constitutional changes remain to be detailed, but the announcement has already sparked considerable political debate.
