The Press Office of the Ministry of Public Administration and Justice said that the Ministry has taken note of the Hungarian Constitutional Court’s decision on oversight of print and online news media, issued on Tuesday. Proposed amendments to media regulation are being prepared, and will be submitted to the Hungarian parliament in May.
Last December, the Hungarian Constitutional Court found several parts of the Media Act to be unconstitutional. Following a request from the Government for the Court to provide detailed interpretation of its ruling on Tuesday, the Court rejected the Government’s submission.
