A new bill gives the Hungarian government control of funding for arts and cultural groups
The Hungarian parliament has passed a package of laws which afford great control over cultural activities across the country, prompting outrage from critics, opposition politicians, and theatres.
Fidesz has held a constitutional majority in the Hungarian parliament since 2010. Critics say the government, led by Prime Minister Viktor Orban, has limited freedom of press, Large protests against government policies are not common in Hungary, but events over the last year have embolden demonstrators.
Karacsony’s election was seen as a warning to Fidesz that support for its policies were beginning to wear thin among Hungarians. The spokesperson stressed that if an institution is funded by a local government, the national government has “nothing to do with it”.
