Socialists call for cttee to screen media ownership structures
Change language:
Budapest, October 10 (MTI) – Opposition Socialist leader Gyula Molnár on Monday called for a committee to be set up to screen the ownership structures of Hungary’s media.
Commenting on the suspension of daily Népszabadság, he said “a dark era of democracy and press freedom has begun in Hungary.”
Publisher Mediaworks on Saturday said it had suspended the publication of Népszabadság until it comes up with a new business model.
“Very few believe that a paper with a well-established name should be closed right now and in this way,” Molnár said. He insisted that Népszabadság had consistently reported controversial developments around ministers or around the governor of the central bank.
Molnár told a press conference that a department within the public prosecutor’s office should be set up to focus on cases that involve politicians.
Meanwhile, the Socialist leader urged ruling Fidesz and “interest groups linked to the party” to repay the 15 billion forints (EUR 49m) spent on Hungary’s recent referendum on European Union migrant quotas.
MOLNAR = SNAKE VENOM, self-inflicted. This commie single handedly pisses off the President, the People, wants to lecture us on ‘Democracy’, something the Commies never understood or followed. Want’s to see funds returned over a ‘Democratic’ maneuver that is working. Threatens possible early elections and say the commie party will not be attending the planned parties constitutional amendment. Now does this not sound like a bunch of communists seeking to get back? GOOD LUCK! Especially in the 60th year of the commie revolution! Go away Commie! LOL!
