Media Freedom Rapid Response 84d ago

MFRR hosted this webinar on 2 April 2026 to examine what is at stake for media freedom ahead of Hungary’s general election. As the country approaches a critical vote on 12 April, the discussion explores two diverging scenarios: the risks of continued pressure on independent journalism under Viktor Orbán’s government, and the opportunities and challenges linked to the reform agenda proposed by Péter Magyar and the Tisza party. Featuring leading Hungarian journalists and media experts, the webinar draws on new research into 15 years of media capture, as well as policy recommendations for rebuilding media freedom and pluralism in Hungary.
