Hungary Shutters Orban-Backed Office Accused of Targeting Media, NGOs

Hungary's parliament has taken a significant step by disbanding Viktor Orban’s Sovereignty Protection Office, a body long accused of targeting NGOs and independent media to suppress dissent. This move reflects growing concern over Orban’s authoritarian tactics and his attempts to control the narrative through intimidation and smear campaigns. The decision underscores a push back against the erosion of media freedom and civil society in the country, highlighting the broader implications for democratic norms and freedom of expression in Hungary.
