TASZ after the ban of Hír TV: Worrying how the Speaker of the House acted

The Hungarian Civil Liberties Union (TASZ) criticized the Speaker of Parliament, Ágnes Forsthoffer, for suggesting that entire newsrooms could be banned from Parliament due to the behavior of individual journalists. Forsthoffer announced a one-week ban for two HírTV journalists for repeated violations, stating that some journalists do not respect representatives' privacy. TASZ acknowledged the need for privacy but argued that this does not justify shielding politicians from media scrutiny. They emphasized that public officials must endure discomfort from questions related to their public duties. TASZ expressed concern over the potential punishment of entire newsrooms for the actions of one journalist, calling it alarming. The Speaker plans to enforce stricter rules for media access.
