A bill has been submitted to the Hungarian parliament proposing a significant restructuring of the country’s public media landscape. The legislation aims to consolidate various state-owned media outlets—including national broadcasters, radio stations, and the Hungarian News Agency (MTI)—under a single entity. The proposed Media Authority would oversee all public service media, potentially impacting editorial independence and diversity of opinion. Government officials state the changes are intended to improve efficiency and eliminate redundancies within the public media system. Critics, however, express concerns that the move will further strengthen government control over media content and limit pluralism. The bill’s passage would represent a major shift in Hungary’s media environment, raising questions about press freedom and access to information. Debate and voting on the bill are expected in the coming weeks.
