The fact that activists who attack almost all of the government's measures talk to each other and consider our country to be a particularly good place is especially poignant. According to TASZ's Márton Asbóth, foreign journalists are not even willing to properly inform themselves about the conditions here.
In recent days, the Magyar Nemzet has already published the details of numerous Skype conversations, thus forming a relatively accurate picture of the working methods of the journalists cooperating with the NGO, and the background of the baseless attacks against Hungary, reports Origo . What's more, all this in the way that people who have seen the workings of the machine from the inside gave their opinions.
The actors of the interviews in question included Andrej Nosko, the former director of the Open Society Foundations, i.e. the Soros Foundation, Kálmán Mátyás, a former journalist of Index and 24.hu, and Dalibor Rohac, a senior staff member of the American Enterprise Institute.
The paper now quotes the words of Márton Asbóth, one of the current project leaders of the Society for Freedom Rights (TASZ), who, among other things, spoke about the strong prejudices of the Western press against Hungary. "I think that Western countries have a very strange narrative or point of view, based on which they tend to believe that Hungary is a very terrible place where democracy is a non-existent thing. As if it were like Belarus or something like that," said the TASZ project manager.
Asbóth stated that, although the foreign press reports that authoritarian regimes are in power in Hungary and Poland, he thinks that it is particularly good to live in both states. He added that it is not that there is a dictator who wants to change the "good little country that Hungary was at the time of the regime change" in a different direction. This would be a very simple story, but there are much, much deeper reasons behind it. And for many years, the international press does not even want to take notice of this" . He pointed out that foreign journalists are not even willing to properly inform themselves about the conditions here.
Asbóth's interlocutor, who cannot be identified for Origo, asked the question: " can it be said that the international press paints a somewhat untrue picture of the Hungarian reality because it does not have adequate information?". The project manager of TASZ simply replied that "yes, this is happening" .
In the Skype interview previously quoted by Magyar Nemzet, Andrej Nosko bluntly stated that there is a baseless, biased campaign against Hungary and Poland, and that uninformed foreign journalists influenced by NGOs paint a distorted picture of our country.
