The people of Hungary have made Europe stronger; their vibrant culture and economic dynamism rippled through the entire EU, the president of the European Commission said, marking the 20th anniversary of Hungary's EU accession.
The presidents of the National Election Office (NVI) and the National Election Committee (NVB) briefed foreign diplomats accredited to Hungary about the European Parliament elections set for June 9 and the municipal and minority self-government elections also to be held on the same day, the two organisations said in a joint statement.
Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, in a radio interview on Friday, said freedom of speech was “in bad shape” in Western Europe. “In liberal societies, the institutions shaping public opinion – the media, universities, research institutions, foundations and politicians – have become homogenous, and say more or less the same thing.”
Two years ago, a Portuguese businessman with good Hungarian government connections bought the Euronews TV channel.
