Hungary's newly elected Tisza party, led by Peter Magyar, has secured a two-thirds parliamentary majority, raising hopes for a historic overhaul of the country's deeply compromised media landscape after 16 years of rule by Viktor Orbán's Fidesz party. During that period, Fidesz built a media empire estimated to control around 80 percent of the market through a combination of favourable legislation, state advertising manipulation, and the concentration of private outlets under allied ownership, driving Hungary to among the lowest press freedom rankings in the EU. Magyar has pledged to suspend the state broadcaster MTVA's news output, end public funding of propaganda, and pass new media legislation, though analysts warn that dismantling such an entrenched system through purely legal and democratic means will be a significant and complex challenge.
