Magyar Péter jogi manőverezéssel fejezi le az ellenzéket és buktatja meg az államfőt, ez még a szavazóinak sem tetszik

The article discusses Hungary's proposed constitutional amendment introducing a 12-year term limit for parliamentary representatives, which critics argue disproportionately targets opposition parties. The measure would restrict the length of time an individual can serve as a member of parliament, affecting half of the seats held by the Fidesz–KDNP and Mi Hazánk parties, while sparing the Tisza Party. Human Rights Watch and the TASZ organization express concerns, noting that such limits could infringe on voters' rights and freedom of choice. They argue that the government has not adequately justified the necessity and proportionality of the measure, suggesting alternative less restrictive methods might achieve similar goals. Legal experts like Tordai Csaba warn that this provision could conflict with international human rights law, particularly since there are currently no European countries with similar term limits for MPs.

Bias read (Left): The article frames the constitutional amendment as an attempt to 'eliminate the opposition' and criticizes it as disproportionate and undemocratic. It highlights concerns from human rights organizations and legal experts who argue the measure violates international norms and undermines democratic代表性

Why these scores (Factual 75 · Objective 45): The article provides some factual details about the amendment but includes subjective commentary from Human Rights Watch and TASZ. It also mentions the political implications without presenting multiple perspectives, leaning towards criticism of the government's actions.
