The European Union pushed Hungary to give “positive signals” that the government is moving to address concerns that the nation’s media law undermines pluralism in the industry.
“The Hungarian government needs to do more and act quickly to reassure” the EU, Neelie Kroes, the 27-nation bloc’s commissioner for digital affairs, told a European Parliament committee today in Brussels. “I continue to have grave concerns about the current situation,” she said, adding that Hungary must “show that it is serious about protecting freedom of expression and media pluralism.”
