Hungary Approves Law Making It Harder to Remove President

Hungary’s ruling-party dominated parliament approved a bill that will make it harder for parliament to remove the country’s president from office.

Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s lawmakers mustered their two-thirds majority to pass the legislation on Wednesday, just four months before pivotal elections in April. Peter Magyar, whose opposition Tisza party has a double-digit lead among decided voters in several polls, has vowed to roll back Orban’s more than decade-old consolidation of power if elected.
