Hungary's president signs amendment ending his own term
Human Rights Watch called the new law "reminiscent of the Fidesz era."
Peter Magyar said that the final obstacle to his party's joint decisions taking effect has been removed.
Viktor Orban and his Fidesz party were voted out of office in April elections.
