“The restructuring of public-service media will take place in two steps. In this context, a public consultation will also be launched on what the public believes the role and mandate of public-service media should be,” the Minister for Social Relations and Culture wrote on Facebook on Tuesday. Fears are that after restructuring public media outlets will simply churn out TISZA’s globalist and leftist propaganda in place of their former pro-Orbán government messaging.
Zoltán Tarr published this post after meeting with Michael McGrath, the European Commissioner for Democracy, Justice, the Rule of Law and Consumer Protection, who visited the ministry as part of preparations for the annual Rule of Law report. Both agreed that the restructuring of public media requires the involvement of experts and society, as well as dialogue.
According to his own account, the head of the ministry stated during the discussion:
We know that people want immediate changes regarding public-service media.
We have already embarked on this path, but we can only implement these changes in compliance with the law and the constitution.”
Zoltán Tarr also reported that a scrutiny of public media has begun; work started after the formation of the government, in accordance with the framework of the rule of law. “In the end, a public media landscape can be created that is worthy of Hungary, democracy, and European values,” he emphasized.
According to the minister, public-service media must serve the people, not politicians or power interests; however, he wrote, this has been forgotten by many in recent years. At this forward-looking meeting, they were all in agreement on this point, he noted. Zoltán Tarr also stressed that the TISZA government considers not only the independence of public media important, but also the situation of the entire Hungarian press.
Hungary deserves free, independent media, not war propaganda and not lies.
And independent Hungarian journalists who work in accordance with press ethics deserve that, after 16 years, they no longer have to work under a system that spies on them, monitors them, and suppresses them, but can instead continue serving the public in a free country,” the minister stated.
The minister’s honorable intentions deserve full approval, although Zoltán Tarr and his government must also be measured against these lofty ideals.
The question of how “independent and objective” media close to TISZA were or are, before and after the change of government, is illustrated by Péter Magyar’s personnel policy.
Media such as Telex, 444, Átlátszó, or Direkt36, which amplify Brussels narratives and label opposing views as “disinformation,” receive EU funding and are therefore by no means “independent.” It is not without reason that employees of these supposedly “independent and objective” media outlets were rewarded by Péter Magyar with well-paid government positions (head of cabinet, ministers, state secretaries, deputy state secretaries, press secretaries).
It is also noteworthy to consider Zoltán Tarr’s attitude toward the former governing party. According to the Minister for Social Relations and Culture, the Mongol invasion of 1241–42 would have been nothing more than a relaxed weekend outing compared to the 16 years of Fidesz–KDNP rule. The former Reformed pastor emeritus had already shown a great deal of creativity in handling the truth during the election campaign. In essence, he said that not everything can be said if one does not want to jeopardize an election victory. Once the TISZA government is in place, he will be able to spout the greatest nonsense as if there were no tomorrow.

Hungary lost 15 to 50 percent of its population at the time. Scorched earth, famine, and epidemics: if one is to believe the amateur historian Tarr, the conservative government in Hungary would have even more human lives on its conscience and would be responsible for even greater devastation. He and his acolytes are truly not to be envied; a Sisyphean task lies ahead of them: after clearing away the piles of corpses (the half of the population that survived must bury the other half), they must repopulate the country as was done under King Béla IV.
Before that, they must get the supposedly starving, wasting Hungarians back on their feet, only then can the real work begin. The Saxons are unfortunately in short supply, even more so the Cumans and the Iazyges, but the new “hospites,” let us call them “Ishmaelites” (they also existed at the time of the Hungarian conquest), are already sitting on packed suitcases. After the soon-to-be-adopted EU migration pact is passed, the churches destroyed by the previous government will no longer be rebuilt; instead, the muezzins will call the urgently needed colonists to brand-new mosques.
Living together with the surviving locals, who will crawl out of the smoking ruins and—following the German model—throw teddy bears at them, will certainly prove, to stick with Minister Tarr’s comparison, to be a carefree Sunday stroll.
