Hungarian parliamentary election winner Péter Magyar said today that his government would suspend state media broadcasting, adopt a new media law, establish a new media authority and guarantee press freedom after his cabinet takes power.
“Every Hungarian deserves a public media service that broadcasts the truth,” Magyar said in an interview with state-run radio station Kossuth.
Magyar Tisza’s (Respect and Freedom) party won a landslide victory in Sunday’s election in Hungary, ending 16 years of rule by outgoing Prime Minister Viktor Orbán.
The newly elected Magyar added today that he would need to talk to the leadership of oil company MOL and that the most important task for the coming weeks would be to ensure the security of fuel supplies.
