Fidesz says TISZA is building a one-party media system after Media Council vote
Published
Fidesz sharply criticised TISZA after the Media Council held a vote. The party claims that TISZA is building a one-party media system in Hungary. The news was reported by the English-language portal Hungary Today.
According to Fidesz, the media is coming under political control, which will lead to a one-party system. In its statement, the party's representatives spoke of autocracy and "neocommunism". They also alluded to the emergence of a new ÁVH. The ÁVH was the state security service operating in Hungary during the communist era.
The article does not detail the exact content of the Media Council's vote, nor does it present TISZA's response. Therefore, we can only learn the arguments of the two sides based on Fidesz's position.
The matter concerns media independence and the role of political power, and the positions of the two parties currently differ. Domestic and international sources may provide further developments later.
