Hungary’s newly appointed Prime Minister, Peter Magyar, announced plans Monday for a comprehensive overhaul of the country’s constitution. He also signaled a significant shake-up within the government, promising to remove high-ranking officials he termed the “Orbán mafia.” Magyar, who previously served as a minister under Viktor Orbán, did not elaborate on which specific officials would be targeted. The announcement marks a dramatic shift following Orbán’s long-term rule and suggests a potential break from established political networks. Magyar’s plans include a complete rewriting of the constitution, aiming for a fundamental restructuring of the nation’s legal framework. This move comes after a recent electoral defeat for Orbán’s Fidesz party and signals a desire for a fresh start under new leadership. The extent and impact of these changes remain to be seen.
