The Hungarian Civil Liberties Union (TASZ) has voiced concerns regarding a recent constitutional amendment proposal limiting parliamentary terms to two consecutive 12-year periods. TASZ argues the amendment is being rushed through without sufficient public discourse. They contend that a five-day consultation period is inadequate for meaningful societal debate on such a significant constitutional change. The organization believes the speed of the process undermines thorough consideration of the implications. Critics suggest the amendment aims to prevent long-serving opposition politicians from remaining in parliament. The proposed change has sparked debate about the balance of power and democratic processes within Hungary’s political system. TASZ is advocating for a more deliberative approach to constitutional reform.
