The Washington post on Hungary's new media law

(Hungary's) "...populist and power-hungry government has just adopted a media law more suited to an authoritarian regime than to a Western democracy.

Europe cannot allow a member government to flout fundamental freedoms without consequence. Some ready leverage is available: Hungary is due to host a European Union summit meeting in Budapest in May, with Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton expected to attend. Mr. Orban should be given a choice between curbing his concentration of power and amending the media laws - or suffering the humiliation of having the European Union and the United States move or boycott his summit." (Washington Post's full article)


Congratulations Mr. Orbán Viktor!
