Peter Magyar claims his party’s election win has “liberated” the state broadcaster from airing “propaganda”
Hungary’s incoming prime minister, Peter Magyar, has pledged to suspend the news operations of the state broadcaster following two tense interviews he gave on Wednesday.
Magyar’s Tisza party secured a decisive victory in Sunday’s parliamentary election, effectively ensuring he will form the next government. He has indicated that action against MTVA will be among his first steps in office.
Magyar has accused the broadcaster of bias against his movement and of disseminating “propaganda” in support of outgoing Prime Minister Viktor Orban, whose 16-year tenure ended with Tisza’s win.
“What has been happening here since 2010 is something that Goebbels or the North Korean leadership would admire – not a single true word being spoken. This cannot continue,” he said during one of the interviews. The presenter rejected the claims.
