played only minor parts in the chaos as human rights groups say judges and politicians have gone too far. and the e.u. leaders promise of a single economic government fails to reassure anxious investors as a fresh trouble over greece once again threatens stability. hungary's new media law has created quite a stir in the e.u. with the setting up of the new government controlled authority. spoke with the country's foreign affairs committee vice chairman to talk about the controversial initiative and the impact it might have on the freedom of the press. it's not been long since hungary handed. the presidency to poland and president mr all down has been pushing ahead with his controversial new media law we're joined now by the vice chairman of the foreign affairs committee at the parliament here in hungary thank you very much for joining us now press freedom is

a fundamental principle of the do you think the hungry some even further away from the valleys and stand with this maybe a little more there has been a lot of talk especially in the last half year about you values and standards we never really know what this exactly means i mean. and i don't think the b.u. has an almighty right to determine where ly be boundaries of such principles we never really heard clear definition of what exactly these values are what exactly are the fundamentals of these principles and what are the details where exactly are the boundaries of these so it is always a contentious issue i mean every country every nation state which the e.u. consists of has its own media law it has its own institutions that safeguard the freedom of speech or the freedom of press so even in the e.u.

the opinions about the hungarian media law have been very diverse it has received criticisms and it has also been defended by some politicians in the e.u. of course the green and the liberal fraction of the european parliament has been very hysterical about it. i can understand some of their criticisms but on the other hand in this country we have a long history of when people from outside try to tell us what to do for a long time it was for moscow for fifty years now we have people coming around from brussels from washington rating hungary and freedom of press freedom of speech and . trying to tell us what kind of rules are the best for hungary and we had in this country in the past twenty years during the history of hungary and democracy so to speak previous media law which was very far from perfect. and there are a lot of instances where the freedom of speech has been very seriously

attacked on the the on the the embroil of this media law that we never heard anybody say anything in europe or outside of europe criticizing this media law so i think that we have to be very careful when we when we judge this of course we have our valid criticisms against this law. to say about the ways in which the law itself was introduced some people saying that it was done with a lot of secrecy and it seemed to be a little bit underhand what can you tell us about that i think it is very unfortunate when a two thirds majority what the government has in hungary at the moment is used to push through a law very quickly and without very careful consideration first of all i know that there is a huge enticement to do things very quickly and pushing through laws. now that they even have a majority to change the constitution. but i think that the danger is that the

law is going to be imperfect this law is imperfect from the point of view that for instance the delegates to this media thora t. are purely it's very one sided it's not a balance for it to be only for us members are being delegated into this authority . the leader of this authority is appointed for nine years which is a long it's in the public office that's a long long time you know i mean during nine years more than two elections go past you know and i think it's it's very unfortunate when some people are kind of. stuck to their position you know for nine years the delegates are appointed by the prime minister which is very unusual. the minimum would be that the parliament appoints them and there is some kind of proportionality within this authority and some delegates. of the opposition can also be there because we think that is that

would bring. the kind of balanced view supervision to this authority how much of a threat in those press feet and i don't think it is going to impact that much on press freedom press freedom in this country has been it has a long history to say the least in this country we used to have for fifty years. media that was completely centralized and run by the party the communist party of hungary following this we had a very very liberal media law the previous the pretty set of this media that was extremely liberal we had in hungary in journalism newspapers televisions radios the majority of people who used to work in the previous era who used to work in a dictatorship i don't know if somebody coming from the west and. better

comprehend the situation here i mean if just to draw a parallel this is as if in. second world war germany you would have journalists that have written articles in the focus should be there before the end of the second world war you see it's a very obscure situation and the problem is that we have a lot of in the past twenty years we had a lot of accumulated grief. emanating from the media or in this country we have a very very one sided very one sided liberal and left wing type of journalism which nice to be balanced and there is no question about it but i think that now depending. somehow struck really the other direction. so i understand the reaction but i think it has gone too far on the other end some people describe this is the government taking a loan to the media there's been a lot of layoffs are the government just trying to cut their own people and is that

true i'm not a media expert but. i think there are very few people in this country including the socialists who are the loudest about this about this situation there are very few people in this country including them that would say that the hungary and national media is a not oversized in terms of employment i mean. some kind of rationalisation. was long overdue everybody has been always talking about it the socialists have been talking about it when they were in government. this government has not only talking and been talking about it but they have laid people off because they saw that it is unsustainable. so i think. this debate has become very politicized it's more about politics than about professional commerce see i mean if something is also staying the boy you have to cut costs and if if something

is over bureaucratized. you know you're going to have people laid off so this whole based on this new media law i think the whole media needs a bit of rethinking including the national media and that is going to be. that is going to hurt some people that's that's the unfortunate consequence of such a situation why did they each east speak out saying very clear on this particular a shame when as he said it's ignored other very important issues that have been happening here in the country why do you think that he has this issue to speak out save a clear about it was an ideological and political. attack now we have a right wing government. and writing government is always attacked by the left wing liberals in the european parliament this is our past experience. how this works we can only guess we have a socialist party in this country which has extremely good connections in the european parliament. and in the european media and this government the audubon

government and i'm seeing this being in opposition so i think this somehow add some value to what i say. in the. in between ninety eight and two thousand and two this bang government already had one term and it was very interesting to see. the volume. and the extensiveness of this criticism that this government has received from outside of hungary and you can mix in exactly identify who those people are where the sick criticism comes from and what is the direction of the criticism it is which has something to do with with the fear of for a dictatorship being introduced to hungary you know things are and i mean nothing like that happened exactly and when the socialist government ran this country for eight years nobody said a single word in the european parliament and in the e.u.

although we know and this was admitted that hungary and government the socialist government forces. economic statistics that were submitted to the european parliament which is criminal you had the two thousand and six issues when the people were shot at on the streets who went on the streets to demonstrate against a prime minister who made a speech the speech was leaked where he admitted to have lied day and night about the economic and other situation in the country and he won the elections through lies and this this speech was leaked out and there was a pro in this country. nobody else seems to care in the whole world in the democratic world that usually are worried about democratic values or the values of the european union whatever they might be. how they are being respected in this country so i think that there is an extremist wrong double standard against this

country. which also manifests itself in the criticism that this may be a little has received thanks very much for joining us thank you very much. touch the close up team was moon beach where the gold rush still gets people hiked up. this time margi goes to cure old region. where the local government is giving power back to the people.

go which was previously played very well every season playing top spots in the conference and. and then some problems emerged with the who work on it step by step through the team of it's going to sit in a very game we will build a man's to pick column moving hands in the regular campaign shipped off the mark without beating the drum claiming that we are number one or number two we will simply work on it scott will start the new season without star players like alex a yosh and the other chair yannick he again a bucket and moxie for shinseki however their presence will hardly be missed as the new coach has attracted the guarding cup winners patrick taurus and and carol because all the among other quite capable players with a major playoff experience of all see are somewhat part of the playoffs last year along with the final is a great experience so it's it's hard allowed to have a good process i really enjoy playing like i said something that you work for every

year scott began their preparation in the czech republic where the squad concentrated mainly on gaining strength that stands was followed by a brief training camp and that seems home base in st petersburg where the head coach has laid down strategy and tactics for the remainder of the pre-season has been a tough training camp so far everybody's working to get in shape and. you know i'm good scenes or something work out that they're going to right now discuss first spend imagine st petersburg show that this side is ready to reach new heights in the cage l and that sentiment echoed with the fans as well as that scene delighted supporters with a three two win over another cage fellside torpedo from the. mind you the match was hardly announced in the media and was held on a practice arena however it was still back to the rafters focus of the new study that akira yeah it's a pity that some of the stars of left the club and on the other hand i'm glad when

i have the garden cup winners like patrick torsen defenses another pleasant surprise and split it re performance in this from the midst of our new coach is a controversial figure but i hope you will. bring the result scott st petersburg have always been one of the top sides during the cage regular season however once the playoffs dawned it seems efforts deflated and soon it was out of contention for the goring cup some diehard fans and bundy's who are inclined towards mysticism even said that the team is under some kind of a playoff spell the realists though believe it's all about those involved all the army men from the banks of the river more common than known as scott st petersburg will be looking to break that play of hex in the upcoming season then you had coach . who already has that necessary postseason experience has built quite a capable side and it's helped that they knew a concessions will be playing in scott's favor. for our team in st petersburg.
