Christmas interview: MÚOSZ claims M1 violates Civil Service Code Press Law - The National Association of Hungarian Journalists is addressing the Media Council and the Civil Service Board of Trustees for a "Christmas Interview" on state television Tuesday. The MÚOSZ resolution calls for accountability and preventive measures to avoid similar cases. Besides, not everyone near Fidesz is happy with the quality of the conversation.
A major portrayal of the media (referred to as the MTVA's new media lows) was shown on state M1 on Tuesday evening, with an "interview" with Gergely Kar Christmas, a certain Kata Mészáros after the Moving World newspaper recently wrote that Since his election last October in the M1 Channel studio (in Western Europe, unimaginably), he has never been the number one leader of Budapest. However, the articles forced the MTVA to admit the mayor into his M1 studio and to refute the claim that Christmas had already been featured in a program on the M5 cultural channel (asked by a dwarf themed channel at the opening of the exhibition).
M1 violates Civil Service Code Press Law
During the conversation yesterday, the M1 reporter, who was constantly strangling the word in the word of Christmas and was constantly strangling the word of the mayor, made sure to make the conversation memorable right from the start; otherwise, despite the bad weather, MTVA's suburban studio (on Kunigunda Road), though the promise of permanent bicycle use was not included in the mayor's program.
Later, Kata Mészáros asked why the mayor's car was not parked directly in front of the MTVA building. On another occasion, he missed the sirens on due to the climate emergency otherwise ordered by the Metropolitan Assembly, and repeatedly asked Gergely Christmas whether he used to talk nonsense. Of the most memorable moments, the best of videos have already appeared, here's one.
The people of the Internet were amazed
For almost every moment, tragicomedic conversations have plunged many into assurances, flooding memes with Facebook and Twitter.

Not everyone near Fidesz was happy with the quality of the conversation
Even Balázs Fürjes of Fidesz, Budapest and the secretary of state responsible for the development of the metropolitan area of Budapest spoke on the highly manipulative interview on Twitter.
Own goal
By the way, Balázs Fürjes spoke on Twitter after Gábor Török, a political scientist who had previously analyzed it, said the conversation was primarily Christmas-friendly, meaning that questioning tactics were a huge hit for MTVA if they weren't trying to increase Gergely Christmas's popularity.
MUSOS addresses the Media Council and the Civil Service Board of Trustees
Recently, Miklós Hargitai, President of the National Association of Hungarian Journalists (MÚOSZ) and Judit N. Kósa, Chairman of the MÚOSZ Ethics Committee, in a resolution sent to Media1, request the Media Council and the Civil Service Board to comply with the , and to ensure prosecution and the avoidance of similar cases.
According to the opinion of MÚOSZ it also follows from the Code that it is not the task of the public media to formulate opinions on politics, politicians, political issues instead of the viewer / student, but its duty is to provide the viewer / student with that allow the viewer / listener to form their own opinion autonomously. According to the president of the MÚOSZ and the chairman of the ethics committee, the said program and the subsequent discussion with the leader of the Fidesz capital faction, which was strikingly different, made no attempt.
