Gergely Gulyás, a spokesman for the party, said “Hungary’s media is free and diverse and Hungarian society is also free”.

in a blog entry on Monday that media freedom remained under threat in Hungary, signalled by the introduction of the ad tax, which “disproportionately affects one single company, RTL”.

Gulyás said the tax was introduced after several years of consultations and it was a matter of burden-sharing, in which companies earlier making extra profit must also take part.
