Klubradio - communiqué

The National Media and Infocommunications Authority (NMHH) is Lying With its
latest communication, NMHH once again showed that its goal is not to ensure the
democratic operation of the Hungarian media system, but rather, it is to expand
the scope of its control. It has made it evident, if it was previously in doubt
at all: Its objective is not a fair proceeding, as it even refuses to carry out
its obligations as expressed in binding court decisions; this much is clearly
discernible in its May 9 press release.
1. The Metropolitan Regional Court did not generally order a new proceeding to
be initiated by the Media Council in the matter of the
93.5 MHz frequency; rather, its order concerned the exclusion of the announced
unlawful winner, Autoradio ltd., and the publication of a consequent,
applicable, new and final result. In this regard, its task is not is not to
initiate a new proceeding, but rather to correct prior illegalities.
2. The administrative deadline did not commence on May 4; it commenced a month
earlier, on April 4, at the time of the delivery of the binding decision. The
information necessary to enforce the decision is contained in the decision
itself. Following April 4, no new documentation has been generated at the
Metropolitan Regional Court which would not have been available to the Media
Council previously.
Thus, the “deadline” attached to their return receipt is merely an empty excuse.
3. The Media Council should have carried out the mandates set forth in the
decision immediately; now, however, it is apparent that the Council is merely
delaying implementation and is not carrying out the mandated actions in the
decision.

As the Media Council had even issued an illegal decision in the tender
- conducted with tender terms that contradicted the will of the people
- and then did not comply with the contents of the binding court decision, it
has lost its legitimacy for good and shown its complete unsuitability to perform
the duties it has been charged to carry out.
Its words no longer carry any weight, thus the validity of its decrees may be
questioned to a significant extent; its departure from public life in Hungary
has become an urgent necessity.
