Commenting on a fresh Median poll published by HVG, PM Magyar said this Wednesday that it is "unprecedented and uplifting" that a "true national unity" has emerged, and three out of four Hungarians now support the Tisza government's work "for a functioning and humane Hungary".
Prime Minister Peter Magyar announced the launch of a far-reaching "purge operation" in Parliament on Monday, declaring a mission to "free Hungary" from what called a "mafia" that operated under the government of Viktor Orban.
President Tamas Sulyok told Brussels-based news outlet Politico in an interview on Saturday that he would fight to stay in office, resorting to a series of legal manoeuvres, and accused Prime Minister Peter Magyar of plotting a takeover of state institutions that would give him a more absolute grip on power than former Prime Minister Viktor Orban had.
On Monday, 15 June, Parliament approved the 16th amendment to Hungary’s Fundamental Law, limiting the maximum length of a prime minister’s mandate to eight years.
