Prime Minister Péter Magyar’s Tisza party used its two thirds majority to steamroll through the 17th amendment to the constitution, ending the term of Sulyok and the head of the Constitutional Court Péter Polt.

Orbán himself has hardly been seen in public, and refused to take his seat in parliament. On Monday, he left Hungary to watch the finals of the football World Cup in the US.

    lmao no he completely killed his supporters, barely anyone even cares about him. He is a literal nobody already. And I’m not saying this as a biased person, the fact that Orbán decided to not even go to parliament completely lost any respect from people. The other category of his “supporters” were poor and uneducated people who dont even care and just follow the winner.
