His objective, he has pointed out, is to dismantle the network of influence woven by the outgoing Executive of Viktor Orbán. Aligning himself with the complaints of international organizations, Magyar maintains that these media have operated as mere speakers of Orbán for more than 16 years.
Thus, the future prime minister has placed the public media corporation at the center of his speech (the second so far this week), which he has described as the main instrument of official manipulation. In fact, in his first interview with state radio Kossuth —paradoxically, one of the most sympathetic to the outgoing government—, Magyar explained that his cabinet will suspend the current information services to stop what he described as a machinery of “toxic propaganda”.
Magyar has stressed that “every Hungarian deserves public media that spreads the truth”, in what represents a break with the communicative model who has accompanied Orbán since 2010. In fact, Reporters Without Borders has repeatedly denounced that Orbán, whom they have described as “predator of press freedom”, He has built a true media empire subject to the orders of his party.
Independent media such as the weekly Magyar Hang, conservative but critical of Orbán, have reported to this newspaper pressures and “economic asphyxiation” by Fidesz in recent years.
Magyar’s statements reflect the deep discomfort accumulated by the lack of pluralism for almost two decades. The leader has even compared the management of the media during the Orbán era with manipulation techniques typical of authoritarian regimes, citing Joseph Goebbels or even North Korea as extreme examples.
According to what he denounced, Hungarian public television has maintained a systematic information blockade against his training, to the point of not inviting him to study even once in the last year and a half, despite the fact that polls already placed Tisza as the main political force in the country.
