Media Authority Denies Gov t-Critical Klubrádió s Bid

On Thursday, Hungary’s media authority (NMHH) swept Klubrádió’s bid off the table for the 92.9 MHz frequency, formerly used by one of the last widely-available, government-critical radio stations in Hungary, without declaring a recipient. According to the head of the radio station, the decision is “cowardly, vile, and illegal,” while media watchdog IPI says Fidesz is controlling the authority and urges the European Commission’s intervention. Klubrádió had to stop analog broadcasting in mid-February after a Budapest court rejected an appeal by the station against a decision by Hungary’s media authority (NMHH). NMHH’s Media Council (consisting exclusively of ruling Fidesz-delegated members) announced in 2020 not to renew Klubrádió’s license, pointing to six violations of the Media Act during the radio’s last ten years of operation.

Orbán Critic Iványi s Small Church Turns to Supreme Court After Gigantic State Fine

Gábor Iványi’s Hungarian Evangelical Fellowship (MET) is turning to the Supreme Court (Kúria) after the Tax Authority (NAV) debited their tax account due to owed payments .

Many suppose political motivation is behind the authorities’ rigor towards them.  In total, NAV debited their account by some HUF 246 million (EUR 684,000). In a Facebook post, MET also complains that the Tax Authority moved immediately without waiting for the case to go through all legal forums or MET receiving the judgement. As a result, MET asked for immediate legal protection.
