Three members of the Public Service Board, which oversees MTVA, would like the board to put the issue of leaked audio recordings of the public media on the agenda, writes Free Europe.

Free Europe wrote on Tuesday about operating in the public media with a “mobster” hierarchy. On Wednesday, the portal made public the scandalous sound recordings made at a foreign policy meeting of the Bulletin M1 in the spring of 2019.

Balázs Bende, head of the foreign media cabinet of public media, and Zsolt Németh, news director of M1, can be heard in the audio materials. The latter talks about how to “screw” an official expert in the news.

And Balázs Bende made it clear that the opposition “does not support the cooperation of the opposition.” It also states that anyone who cannot write the material as expected can even rescind it.

József Debreczeni (DK delegate), László Kránitz (MSZP), Dr. Máté Silhavy (Jobbik) presented a communication, according to which the research materials published by Free Europe document the “loss of independence of the media service provider of public service ”.

The work carried out in the MTVA newsrooms is critical to maintaining the legal functioning of the public media service. This raises serious suspicions that MTVA seriously jeopardizes the legal independence of the public media service provider. If it had not been clear from watching the program so far, the above – and other publications in the article – documented that, in exchange for public service, the service of power is being carried out on public television, so MTVA employees are being forced under serious threats.

– is postponed.
