Viktor Orbán could switch from prime minister to president of Hungary, extending presidential powers to protect his political influence.

Orbán is considering a radical strategic move, talking about replacing the current president in order to extend the presidential term and expand his powers, especially in foreign and security policy. The change would transform Hungary into a semi-presidential regime, allowing him to influence the country's direction even in the event of an electoral defeat. Orbán aims to protect his position and avoid scrutiny by strengthening his control over state institutions.
