Thousands protest at Hungary’s public broadcaster MTVA, fed up with Orban’s vast media machine spreading Kremlin talking points & disinformation about the #UkraineWar

Here’s a thread with examples👇

Dear EU, this undermines all efforts to counter Putin’s propaganda @EUvsDisinfo
1

The EU banned Sputnik and RT— but here’s a “security expert” on Hungary’s public broadcaster comparing Zelensky to Hitler

Again, Hungary’s taxpayer-funded public broadcaster (not a small fringe outlet) repeats Putin’s genocide lie

While most officials in Orban’s government desperately try to deny their decade-long pro-Putin stance & pivot, a huge ecosystem of Fidesz-funded talking heads continues to spread falsehoods cooked up in the Kremlin

Beyond public broadcaster MTVA, outlets funded by pro-Orban oligarchs (so indirectly, taxpayers) are also major sources of Russian disinformation.

… these are just a few examples, the list could go on forever.

The EU must recognize that efforts to counter Putin’s propaganda will be futile if a vast pro-Kremlin ecosystem in members like Hungary continues to spread lies. The time to act is *now* @EU_Commission @EUvsDisinfo
