Reporter Banned From Parliament
Speaker László Kövér has banned RTL Klub reporter Vanda Szondi from Parliament because she posed a question to Fidesz MP Imre Vas in a location that was off-limits to journalists.

Szondi went up to Vas before a meeting of the legislative committee, asking him what he had discussed last week with György Rubovszky when the re-election of the head of state was mentioned.

Sound recordings demonstrate that according to Rubovszky the Prime Minister will not allow the re-election of János Áder.

Recently six journalists were banned from the Parliament building as they posed questions in the wrong locations.
