When Index’s scandal occurred, the singer cried three times a day.

One of Hungary’s leading news portals is in trouble: Index.hu changed its freedom barometer to “Endangered” in June 2020, but the clouds gathered around one of the major players in the online media market long before. On July 22, Szabolcs Dull, the editor-in-chief, was fired, causing most of the editorial staff to stand up and then thousands protested in Budapest for freedom of the press. You can follow the fate of the Index in our article series.

In an interview with Fluor Tomi Recorder, the subject of politics was also raised, that is, his recent statements, including about the scandal surrounding the Index.

Fluor said he was not interested in politics for a long time. When the public media banned it in 2015 for the conscious scandal of the feminine principle, he began to think about “what is this now”.

“I shit in which party is in power, things just bother me morally. It bothers me when someone puts their hands on everything. It bothers me when malice is reinforced in people because it is poison and it bounces back. I myself cried three times. That was the point where I couldn’t account for myself if I didn’t react. “

He also added that there are many things that he does not say anything about just for his own reassurance because he thinks

to Tomi, do you want silly comments on fake profiles for two weeks? It feels good to write something, but the next few weeks are very long.


The former editorial office of index.hu has essentially ceased to exist, the country has lost its most read online interface. This is one of the most serious blows to the independent Hungarian press and freedom of information to date. The number of independent power editorial boards is steadily declining, and those that still exist are trying to stay afloat in a growing headwind.
