Ausf\u00fchrungen des Jobbik-Europaabgeordneten M\u00e1rton Gy\u00f6ngy\u00f6si:<\/em><\/span><\/strong><\/p>\n

In diesem Artikel pl\u00e4diert der Politiker f\u00fcr die Bildung eines neuen, unabh\u00e4ngigen europ\u00e4ischen Medienunternehmens, um dem Trend der populistischen Politiker entgegenzuwirken, m\u00f6gliche Kan\u00e4le der Opposition zum Schweigen zu bringen und die populistischen Propagandanachrichten zu verbreiten.<\/strong><\/p>\n

Die Debatte \u00fcber die ungarische, polnische und slowenische Medienlage war einer der am meisten publizierten Punkte auf der Tagesordnung der j\u00fcngsten Plenarsitzung des Europ\u00e4ischen Parlaments, es kam nicht \u00fcberraschend, da Europas demokratische politische Kr\u00e4fte seit Jahren versuchen, die Herausforderungen zu bew\u00e4ltigen, die populistische Politiker mit der Verbreitung von Fake News und Verschw\u00f6rungstheorien stellen.<\/p>\n

\n

Das Problem kann nicht mehr unter den Teppich gekehrt werden, denn wie die Plenardebatte gezeigt hat, w\u00e4chst die Zahl der betroffenen L\u00e4nder: Selbst Slowenien ist jetzt \u201cauf dem Radar\u201d.<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n

Gy\u00f6ngy\u00f6si says there are two main areas that definitely needs to be mentioned when talking about the situation of the media in the 21st century. The first issue, which was also raised in the plenary session, is the authoritarian-leaning governments\u2019 actions against the freedom of speech and media pluralism. As Gy\u00f6ngy\u00f6si pointed out in his speech, Hungary is probably in the gravest situation within the EU in this regard as the Orb\u00e1n regime\u2019s repeated attacks have almost completely liquidated the independent media during Fidesz\u2019 now 11-year-long rule. The process started by reorganizing the Media Council back in the early 2010s. Since then, Orb\u00e1n\u2019s Fidesz has been the only party to delegate members into this body. The next step was the occupation of the state-run public media, reducing it to a mouthpiece for Fidesz. Since 2016, it has been common knowledge in Hungary that the public media conveys nothing but Fidesz\u2019 views and it never gives voice to any opposition speaker or political dissenter. In fact, the supposedly public service media often conducts smear campaigns against opposition politicians, regularly using discriminatory and hatemongering remarks in its programmes. However, it was not enough, the process did not stop there: in the meantime, Fidesz took control of all regional newspapers, which serve as the primary source of information for Hungary\u2019s rural population. After that, they began to steamroll all opposition newspapers through politically motivated operations disguised as business transactions with their strawmen. The most widely publicized operation was the liquidation of N\u00e9pszabads\u00e1g, the leading leftist-liberal daily paper, but the centre-right Magyar Nemzet, the former opinion shaper suffered an only slightly better fate: the entire editorial staff was replaced and the old newspaper logo is now attached to an inciting outlet that releases fake news. Albeit to a lesser extent, but the same happened to Index, Hungary\u2019s leading online news portal. The opposition Klub R\u00e1di\u00f3 was silenced through administrative measures.<\/p>\n
