Hungary's incoming PM vows to suspend state media, denouncing it as propaganda
Péter Magyar, the prime minister-elect who won in a landslide, says his government will suspend state media coverage, calling it a propaganda machine, and push a new press law plus a media authority to restore true public‑service broadcasting. He frames this as a break from Viktor Orbán’s governance, with Parliament expected to convene in early May and a swearing-in possible by mid‑May, while international observers watch Hungary’s media landscape closely.
