United KingdomHungarian public media outlets associated with former Prime Minister Viktor Orbán have suspended broadcasting, according to Péter Magyar, the newly elected prime minister who led Orbán's party to a landslide defeat in April. Magyar, representing the Tisza party, described the move as ending 'propaganda broadcasts' and announced plans to reform public media for independence and trustworthiness. State broadcaster M1 and radio station Kossuth ceased transmissions, with M1 displaying a message acknowledging past misinformation and promising future reforms. Orbán criticized the change as part of a 'Tisza tyranny,' urging supporters to turn to his affiliated Hír TV channel. The shift follows broader efforts by Magyar's government to distance from Orbán's legacy, including replacing leadership at state media and targeting private outlets linked to Orbán allies.
