According to kreativ.hu, the newly harmonious alliance between the Democratic Forum and Free Democrats has called for Fidesz and the Socialists to pull their delegates from the National Radio and Television Board (ORTT), following its controversial radio license decision. Democratic Forum Chairwoman Ibolya Dávid said that because a court has already expressed its opinion that the transfer of the licenses wasn’t entirely on the up and up, it is only a matter of time before the ORTT will be fined, and therefore the Socialists and Fidesz should remove the offending people. We won’t hold our breath.
