MPs also decided on new members of the council. However, parliament did not approve the candidates of the Fidesz party and the Christian Democratic People's Party (KDNP). The Tisza party, which is Fidesz's main political rival, voted against their nominees. Telex ↗
Polyák is a communications expert and media lawyer. Once elected, he will head the body overseeing the media and electronic communications sector in Hungary. His candidacy was backed by the committee even before the parliamentary vote. teraz.sk ↗
The vote on the chairman and members of the council took place during Tuesday's session of the Hungarian parliament. While Polyák received the necessary support, the candidates proposed by Fidesz and KDNP were not successful.
The choice of the new chairman could signal a change in the leadership of the Hungarian Media Council. Further developments will also depend on the filling of the vacant member positions, since parliament did not approve the Fidesz and KDNP nominees. aktuality.sk ↗
