Shocked by Pastor's statement
The Democratic Community of Vojvodina Hungarians (DZVM) announced today that it is shocked by the statement of the president of the Alliance of Vojvodina Hungarians (SVM), Balint Pastor, in which, according to them, he admitted political control over the media whose founder's rights were taken over by the Hungarian National Council (MNS).
TL;DR
- DZVM is shocked by Balint Pastor's statement regarding political control over MNS media.
- Pastor's statement implies SVM leadership controlled MNS media for years, excluding other political options.
- Concerns are raised about Pastor's "interventions" to provide opposition access to "Mađar so" and Panon RTV, while other media remain inaccessible.
- DZVM believes this practice treats pluralism as a formality, not a democratic value.
- They demand Pastor and Fremond ensure media independence and equal access for all political actors.
