Parliamentary elections will be held in Hungary on April 3, and people can vote for parties as well as for individual candidates. Viktor Orbán heads the Fidesz-KDNP list as leader of the ruling party.
Well-known editors, presenters, and also the head of news, Vivien Szalai, can be seen in a video in which several employees of the private TV channel TV2 admit that they will vote for Viktor Orbán in the upcoming parliamentary elections. All of them also give reasons for this decision, saying that they worry about their children, their retired parents, or predictability. One person says that the Hungarians on the other side of the border are important to him, that’s why he supports Orbán.
I want to live in a country where there is no war in the future, and for that we need a leader like Viktor Orbán,”
said one of the presenters.
At the end of the video, they openly encourage everyone to vote for Orbán on April 3.
The video is currently featured in a post on TV2 News’s (“Tények” which means “Facts” in English) Facebook page.
The TV2 news editors also published a similar video four years ago, after which they were fined 3.5 million forints (more than EUR 9,340) because it was also shown on the news.
