Earlier in May 2026, freshly sworn-in Hungarian Prime Minister Peter Magyar, whose party beat that of Orban in a landslide win in April 2026, ordered a complete audit of the operation and financing of state media, which he has previously labelled a "lie factory". Since the election, the public broadcaster has already changed its tone, while top private broadcaster TV2 -- owned by Orban-allied businessmen -- saw its main news anchors replaced and news director pushed out.
