Hungary has amended its constitution to prevent any individual from serving as prime minister for more than eight years in total, regardless of interruptions between mandates. This change directly affects Viktor Orban, who has held the position for over two decades, including non-consecutive terms. The amendment was passed by parliament after the ruling party, Tisza, won a decisive victory in April elections, while Orban's Fidesz party suffered a major defeat. Orban's long tenure has been marked by policies criticized as undermining liberal democracy, particularly regarding the rule of law, media freedom, migration, and minority rights. His party strongly opposed the constitutional changes, calling them an erosion of parliamentary democracy. The reform marks the end of Orban's era as Hungary's leader.

Why these scores (Factual 90 · Objective 65): Factual content matches cross-source reports on Orban’s re-election within Fidesz despite losing power. However, the tone is more emotive, emphasizing his defiance and using phrases like 'nikad ne odustajem' which lean towards subjective interpretation.
