Total Ban Ahead In Hungary on All Media Financed From Abroad?
- 24 Mar 2025 7:17 AM
It may be best to totally ban media financing from abroad, the Fidesz parliamentary group leader has said, adding that "the USAID scandal was the tip of the iceberg".
Referring to "the international corruption network that has bought politicians, journalists, activists and media platforms in Hungary", Mate Kocsis wrote on Facebook on Saturday that more and more information was coming to light concerning how foreign taxpayers' money was used to finance those spreading "extremist liberal ideology" and carrying out "anti-government activities".
He lambasted this as "gross interventions in Hungary's domestic affairs", adding that "perhaps it would be best if the media could not be financed from abroad at all" and to "make this a rule".
