Widerstand in autoritären Systemen - Civil Radio (Budapest) unter dem Regime Victor Orbans

Eine seiner ersten Umbaumaßnahmen trafen den Mediensektor in Ungarn. Civil Radio war eins von mehr als 60 Community Radios in Ungarn, die sofort direkt betroffen waren von den Mediengesetzgebungen. Wie Civil Radio durch die Zeit gekommen ist und bis heute geschafft hat zu überleben und seine Relevanz sogar noch zu steigern, und dass obwohl das Radio sogar seine UKW-Frequenz verlor, darüber haben wir mit Akos Cserhati gesprochen. Akos ist Geschäftsführer von Civil Radio.

This year, the FIDESZ regime under Victor Orban was voted out of office in Hungary. Within a very short space of time, following his landslide election victory in 2010, he had brought the country into line. One of his first reform measures affected the media sector in Hungary. Civil Radio was one of more than 60 community radio stations in Hungary that were immediately and directly affected by the media legislation. We spoke to Akos Cserhati about how Civil Radio has weathered the storm and managed to survive to this day, even increasing its relevance – despite the fact that the station lost its FM frequency. Akos is the managing director of Civil Radio.
