Hungary began dismantling former leader Viktor Orban's self-styled illiberal rule by imposing term limits for premiers and winding up public trusts that wielded billions of dollars in assets in an extension of his political influence.
Parliament approved the constitutional amendment on Monday, which will cap prime ministerial terms at two four-year stints and disqualify Orban from returning to power. He had served five overall terms, including four consecutive ones from 2010.
