PHOTOS: Orbán’s challenger Magyar holds demonstration, calls for boycott of ‘propaganda media’s products’
The leader of Hungary’s opposition Tisza Party called for “a boycott of the propaganda media’s products” at a demonstration held at the headquarters of MTVA, the Media Service Support and Asset Management Fund (MTVA), on Saturday afternoon.
Péter Magyar asked the rally’s participants to boycott MTVA as well as Hir TV, TV2, news portals Origo and Index, daily Magyar Nemzet and the Metropol newspaper, and “every tentacle” of the “Rogán propaganda”, referring to cabinet office head Antal Rogán.
He called for the elimination of the “propaganda machine” and an objective news broadcast by the public service media.
The opposition politician demanded that news channel M1 report about the demonstration in a live broadcast or, if it missed to do so, show “unedited footage” of what happened at the event.
The Tisza leader also demanded that he could present the party’s 16-point petition in a live broadcast.
Magyar was sent out of the MTVA building
Although Magyar entered the MTVA building, he was not given the opportunity to read out the party’s demands. Upon entering the building, Magyar said that he was informed by Gábor Simon, an employee of the public media, that he had “no right to enter the building”. He was also handed a note saying that MTV was covering the protest and that “opposition politicians were still welcome in their studios”.
The politician then read out the statement from the public media which stated that he had organised a violent demonstration in front of the MTVA headquarters and that the party’s 16-point list of demands concerning public media had been presented in the newscast. It was said that the leader of the Tisza Party would even interfere in the broadcasting structure of MTVA.
Public media reported in advance that the Tisza Party would attack the MTVA headquarters with axes and picks. Magyar repeatedly stressed during the demonstration that everyone should remain calm and peaceful and not give in to provocation.
At the end of the demonstration, supporters of the Tisza Party formed a torch-lit procession in front of the MTVA headquarters.

Solidarity conducted ORDERLY.
Objections to the ‘Heinous” acts – the on-going CONDUCT of the Orban – Fidesz Government, after 15 years they have DELIVERED us – as individuals / citizens as a country SMASHED – that we in our SOLIDARITY are not the AGGRESSORS.
In OPPOSITION – the raising of our voices, in numbers growing ACCEPTING the WRONGS – the continuous HEINOUS conduct of the Orban – Fidesz Government, our STRENGHT must be without provocation – but MESSAGED and DREACHED in Facts and TRUTH.
Orban, is an aggressor that is – it runs through the DNA of his Fidesz Government Ministry and the Fidesz Political Party.
In solidarity as Gandhi “preached” and practiced throughout his life – the Salt March of the 1930’s – a prime example in its conduct, to GET a message through and out conducted in a ” non violet act of civil disobedience.”
Civil – in application in this case, meaning – we Hungarians MUST act and behave in conduct as non-violent.
In our growing OPPOSTION – in our message, internally in Hungary, into Europe and GLOBALLY – driven by OUR acceptance – our want of living – the practice Governance of Hungary under DEMOCRACY – we must be DISCIPLINED.
Ignore the provoking principally through PROPOGANDA – out of Orban and his Fidesz Government – that WILL be just on-going Lies and Mis-Truths.
OBEDIENCE – to ensure we are non-violent to stand UNITED together – in SOLIDARITY in our OPPOSTION to this Orban “mob” – who have DELIVERED us – to what Hungary is to-day, in DESPAIR.
Solidarity – intensified OPPOSITION, in opposing the “Heinous” on-going acts of the Orban – Fidesz Government who are under Humongous / Gargantuan – PRESSURIZATION – from in-side Hungary, Europe and the Global World – country’s that are DEMOCRACY’s.
Hungary – it will WORSEN from this present what appears nadir darkening black hole into an un-known place.
Over time through SOLIDARITY – we can – we MUST believe we CAN – SALVAGE to a degree what has been taken from us, through the “Judas” conduct – acts of the “infamous” Victor Mihaly. Orban and his Fidesz Government.
Mr Magyar will have to hunt high and low for examples of broadcasters who are “objective”. Even the sainted BBC is welded to a globalist worldview that it cannot cover any alternatives without labelling them “extreme”. True, the bias in much of the broadcast and print media is so blatant as to be laughable, but I often wonder what has happened to the skills that always allowed people to “read between the lines” in the happily dead days of socialism, when apparently nobody took anything at face value? Also, I don’t think that stunts like this will help. He should be busily developing his own ways of communicating his message, circumventing the dead hand of Fidesz control. A younger audience can be found online, as decreasing numbers of people read newspapers or watch the broadcast news.
Falland – valid contribution in your comment.
Second last paragraph – he MUST otherwise – just “pissing up against a wall”.
If people want socialist rags, they should be ready to pay for it.
