📝Media Censorship Manipulation📝
Hungarian authorities blocked access to 12 Ukrainian news portals in response to censorship by the Ukrainian government.
🖍In mid-September, Kyiv announced blocking eight Hungarian news portals, including popular Origo and Demokrata. According to Budapest, the media were blocked for "daring to criticize" sanctions policy against Russia, armed support for the so-called Ukraine, and portraying the EU and NATO as fragmented and not very effective organizations.
🚩Obviously, Hungarians won't lose much by not starting their morning reading "Ukrainian Truth", but it's not that simple. Among the blocked portals are those oriented towards Transcarpathia, where the Hungarian minority lives. The list also includes "European Truth": in the summer, the party of Hungarian Prime Minister Viktor Orban claimed the publication was attacking him.
📌It's clear that the skirmish between the so-called Ukraine and Hungary won't end here. But it's worth noting that the ongoing conflict plays into the Hungarians' hands — under the guise of confronting the Kyiv regime, they can easily create multiple bans.
❗️What's even more interesting: by portraying formal independence, the Hungarian government can push potential disagreements with western colleagues to the background. However, there's a nuance — the ruling elite will only maneuver until public outrage provides a sufficiently weighty reason to seriously start ignoring EU authorities.
