Solidarity with the journalists from the Hungarian independent newspaper “Népszabadság”

The EESC Workers’ Group expresses its solidarity with the journalists from the Hungarian independent newspaper “Népszabadság” (Freedom of the People).

These journalists were abruptly locked out of their workplace, without any notice on 9th October. The newspaper has not appeared since then, leaving many readers of this, the largest printed political newspaper, very concerned. The online version and its archives were also switched off.

This is another example of interference with press freedom in Hungary and an attack on fundamental freedoms of the EU.
