Photo taken on May 28, 2026 shows the flags of the European Union (EU, L) and of Hungary (R) in front of the headquarters of the Hungarian MTVA state television in the 3rd district of Budapest, Hungary. Earlier in May 2026, freshly sworn-in Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar, whose party beat that of Orban in a landslide win in April 2026, ordered a complete audit of the operation and financing of state media, which he has previously labelled a "lie factory". Since the election, the public broadcaster has already changed its tone, while top private broadcaster TV2 -- owned by Orban-allied businessmen -- saw its main news anchors replaced and news director pushed out.
