SDSM hopes that after Orban's fall in Hungary, it will also have an impact on the media in Macedonia. They say that the new Hungarian government has announced deep reforms in the media, which according to SDSM, will also have an impact in Macedonia, because 40% of the media space in the country is controlled by Orban.
“The incoming Tisza government, led by Peter Magyar, announced a deep media reform and Hungary's return to the European path.
Macedonia is already in media darkness due to Orban's media, which controls 40% of the media space, which is directly managed by the criminal organization VMRO-DPMNE.
Fake news, fabricated scandals, 24-hour black campaigns against SDSM, and the public lynching of Mayor Venko Filipçe have become a daily reality in Macedonia.
Since our first announcement that Orban would fall, when citizens began to realize that the same media were deceiving them every day, and OBRM-PDUKM, with its defocus, was distracting them from the main topics – fierce black campaigns against SDSM followed.
Due to the announcement of historic changes in Hungary, VMRO-DPMNE panickedly intensified its campaign against SDSM and Venko Filipce: first through its media and so-called journalists (collaborators of foreign services), then through individuals from SDSM (some blackmailed, some bought), and then through countless fabricated affairs like “Dr. Jean”, a spin-off with “Daka” – the man from the American blacklist with Russian connections, and through fake stories about Dubai, Africa, St. Moritz and other fabrications.
With great hope, we expect that this change in Hungary will bring normalization of relations with the EU, respect for the rule of law, and constructive cooperation in the region.
"We hope that the media will be freed from political control and that finally free, relevant and objective reporting will come to us as well," say the SDSM.
