## Executive Summary
Hungarian political tensions escalate as a constitutional amendment is filed to remove the president while term limits for lawmakers are proposed.

## Intelligence Brief
A constitutional amendment has been filed in Hungary seeking the removal of the current president, who is characterized as an ally of Prime Minister Viktor Orbán. Concurrently, the Prime Minister has proposed a 12-year term limit for members of the national legislature.


Coverage from Bloomberg, Politico, and Euronews highlights the filing of the legislative bill and the subsequent reaction from a European watchdog, which has announced plans to investigate the removal effort. Future developments hinge on the progress of the constitutional amendment through the legislative process.


It remains to be seen how the European watchdog’s investigation will proceed and what specific impacts the proposed 12-year term limits will have on the existing composition of lawmakers.
