Hungarian Journalists’ Access to PMO Restricted

• Hungary Around the Clock

After journalists and reporters were barred from the corridors of Parliament, where they might ask questions of politicians, it will now no longer be possible to put questions to government politicians on the street in front of the Prime Minister’s Office, as the space has been fenced off.

The square in front of the PMO is where significant government politicians coming to Viktor Orbán’s office could still be accosted by journalists with questions about current issues.

Now this possibility is also over, as both ends of Színház utca have been fenced off since last week, writes 444.

Official sources say the space has been closed off due to construction in the area.
