In Hungary, Parliament passes a law to remove the president, the last piece of Orban's system

In Hungary, the Parliament has passed a law allowing for the removal of the president, marking the final component of Viktor Orbán's systemic reforms. This legislation enables the National Assembly to initiate proceedings against the president if they are found guilty of serious crimes, effectively granting the legislature significant power over the executive branch. The move is seen as part of Orbán's broader strategy to consolidate authority within his ruling Fidesz party, strengthening his control over the country's political landscape. Critics argue this undermines checks and balances, while supporters view it as necessary for maintaining stability.

Bias read (Progressive): The article frames the adoption of the law as a consolidation of power by Orbán's regime, implying a negative impact on democratic institutions. It highlights concerns from critics regarding the erosion of checks and balances, suggesting a critical perspective towards the government's actions.
