HírTV reporters ordered out of Hungarian state television
MTV president Zoltán Rudi on Tuesday ushered HírTV correspondents out of the station's buildings, claiming that they had known what was going to happen on Monday night as their broadcast truck arrived in Kossuth tér before the demonstrators.
The Free Democrats said they will not make statements to HírTV until it apologies for their "biased coverage of events." HírTV said in response that the Free Democrats should urgently apologise to Hungarian society.
National media watchdog ORTT could decide today on whether to examine news coverage.
