In Budapest, thousands have taken to the streets to protest against the pervasive state media propaganda orchestrated by Prime Minister Orbán's government. Opposition leader Péter Magyar, representing the Tisza party, has laid out 16 demands, including the resignation of the public media director, highlighting the need for greater press freedom.
Demonstrators, including Balázs Tömpe and Ágnes Gera, have condemned the censorship and disinformation tactics employed by the state-controlled media, known as MTVA. This protest reflects a growing dissatisfaction with the Fidesz party's media dominance and its influence over public opinion.
As the movement gains momentum, Magyar has announced plans for another demonstration on October 23, coinciding with Hungary's national holiday.
