"Magyar stated that every Hungarian deserves a public service media that broadcasts the truth, emphasizing the need for a new media law and authority to restore integrity in state media."
"In a rare television appearance, Magyar accused state media anchors of biased coverage and described the situation as witnessing the last days of a propaganda machine."
"Magyar's Tisza party won a landslide victory, ending Viktor Orban's 16 years in power, and he is now focused on reforming the media landscape in Hungary."
"Magyar criticized President Sulyok, stating he was unworthy to embody the unity of the Hungarian nation and demanded his resignation once the new government is formed."
Peter Magyar, Hungary's Prime Minister-elect, aims to overhaul state media and has called for the resignation of President Tamas Sulyok. Following a significant election victory, Magyar announced plans to suspend public media news broadcasts and criticized biased coverage. He emphasized the need for a new media law and authority to ensure truthful broadcasting. Magyar also faces economic challenges, with over 16 billion euros in EU recovery funds blocked due to rule-of-law issues, which must be resolved by the end of August.
