Hungary's president signs amendment ending his own term
The new amendment establishes mandatory retirement for Hungary's Constitutional Court justices at 70 years of age.
The constitutional amendment was passed on Monday by Peter Magyar's ruling Tisza party.
Magyar and his center-right Tisza party won a two-thirds parliamentary majority in April.
“we are restoring something that the Orban regime tried for many years to take away ... the certainty that power can be limited, that public assets can be recovered, and that the state can once again serve its citizens.”
PETER MAGYAR
