More international journalist groups condemn violent removal of Telex journalists from campaign event 😔

The International Press Institute (IPI) urges the Hungarian government and political parties to stop obstructing journalists after incidents of physical force against reporters at public events. Mayor László Vécsei pushed journalists out of a press conference, and a security guard removed HVG reporters during a pro-Fidesz event. IPI emphasizes the importance of press freedom for democracy and highlights ongoing issues with independent journalists being barred from events. The Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) also calls for an investigation into these incidents, expressing concern over press freedom in Hungary.
