BUDAPEST, April 15 (Reuters) – Hungary’s election winner Peter Magyar said on Wednesday that his government will suspend the broadcast of state media, pass a new media law, set up a new media authority and ensure press freedom after his cabinet takes power.
“Every Hungarian deserves a public service media that broadcasts the truth,” Magyar said in an interview on state Kossuth radio. Magyar’s TISZA (Respect and Freedom) party won a landslide victory in Sunday’s election, ending Prime Minister Viktor Orban’s 16-year rule.
