      Let me be a downer, even if a similar change of government would be possible in Hungary, the “public media” is privately owned, and there is most likely a qualified majority required to even touch its funding. That means that even in the extremely unlikely event that the current government would not get elected, they would still own government media, and the state would still be forced to fund it.

      Most of Hungary is owned by three families at this point. Universities, infrastructure, key economic players, everything from all telecommunications companies through McDonald’s to airports, power plants, universities, hotels…

      Fidesz being in opposition would barely change anything.
