The verbal battle between the Tisza and Fidesz emerged from the hearing of the interim director of public media.

The Hungarian Parliament's Cultural Committee postponed the hearing of András Horváth, the interim director of public media, amid a debate between Fidesz representatives. Some members argued for transparency regarding recent layoffs and suspensions, while others suggested waiting until the media's restructuring is complete. Horváth emphasized that the transformation is being conducted transparently. The committee also discussed the rejection of Fidesz's candidate for the Independent Media Council and approved the founding documents of two public media companies. The search for a permanent director is underway, with applications due by November 12.
