[Francia Nagykövetség 🇫🇷 🇪🇺 @FRenHongrie]

🇫🇷🇭🇺 A Magyarországi Francia Nagykövetség ismét támogatja a @Transparency_HU „Mentor-Mentee” programját, összhangban Franciaország szilárd elhivatottságával a szabad, független, pluralista és megbízható tájékoztatás mellett, amely a demokrácia életképességének sarokköve.

🤝 Egy olyan világban, ahol a dezinformáció egyre nagyobb teret nyer, és ahol az újságírói szakma szabadsága túl gyakran kerül veszélybe, elengedhetetlen az újságírók egy új generációjának képzése.

👏 Büszkék vagyunk arra, hogy a Francia Intézetben megrendezett „Dezinformáció elleni hetek” után most az új mentoráltakat támogathatjuk, akik egy az igazság és az igazságosság mellett elkötelezett közösség tagjaivá válnak. Alig várjuk, hogy elolvashassuk riportjaikat, olyan mentorok irányítása alatt, akik átadják nekik oknyomozói újságírói tapasztalataikat!

The optimal approach would be to repeal the chain of 2021 acts creating entities like MCC, told Miklós Ligeti, legal director of @Transparency_HU to @BalkanInsight. “No rule of law problem arises if we accept that these entities are not private law foundations in the true sense.”

[Alex Faludy @AlexanderFaludy]

‘Mathias Corvinus Collegium has offered its co-operation to the new government, but it’s unlikely to be accepted.’
