Media freedom in Hungary

In his 16 years in power, this is what Orban has done:

The majority of the media are already owned by people related to the government. Consequently, Hungary has lost its plurality in the media that it enjoyed before 2010.

Public television has put it under political control.

He has exerted effective pressure through legal and institutional changes. There are media laws contrary to European standards and controls the state media regulator.

His government used public money to advertise in the media controlled by her own.

He has intimated journalists using various forms of pressure. Through deignive language from himself, spokesman, MPs and others in power, portraying journalists as enemies. They've been bugged and they've got SLAPP charges.

Journalists in Hungary have suffered a lot, but part of them have not surrendered. Thanks to them, we know how the Orban government does.

Hungarian journalists have made extraordinary contributions to informing the public and paid a fair price for their resistance.
