A Slovenian journalist organization stands up for Hungarian journalists exposed to harsh attacks by the left-wing opposition and asks the European Parliament and the European Commission to firmly condemn the statements of DK's Ágnes Vadai and the momentous András Fekete-Győr. According to the SAPJ, the Brussels leadership can only prove that there are no double standards in this way.
A Slovenian journalists' organization is appealing to the European Parliament and the European Commission after Ágnes Vadai, a member of the DK, threatened an editor of the public media that she would act like the Rwandan propagandists, who "in the end got their deserved punishment".
The Slovenian Association of Patriotic Journalists (SAPJ) stands by the Hungarian journalists who are "targets of the harsh attacks and threats of the left-wing opposition", and asks the European Parliament, which has dealt with the media situation in Hungary, Poland and Slovenia several times before, and the European Commission to firmly condemn the statements of Ágnes Vadai (DK) and András Fekete-Győr (Momentum). According to the SAPJ, the Brussels leadership can only prove that there are no double standards in this way.
The organization also called on the S&D, which hosts the Democratic Coalition, and the Renewable Europe party families, which have Momentum among its ranks, to remind their members that their threats are completely unacceptable.
The SAPJ reminds that Ágnes Vadai threatened a public television journalist with a showdown on the model of the Rwandan genocide, and András Fekete-Győr said that if they were to come to government, he would ban certain conservative journalists from practicing their profession.
"At SAPJ, we believe that such threats have no place in democratic and free societies based on different opinions and worldviews," the organization said in a statement.
