Magyar Nemzet, Nov. 12., Tuesday
According to Bárándy Péter (Attorney General, Justice Minister) we’ve been living in a democracy for the past 12 years and in this situation it is acceptable for us to cut back on freedom of speech.

But he hopes that Hungary will become a country where even Mein Kampf is available on the shelves.

"We will restore the democratic law-state"
"(...) My government respects the freedom of press and will stop interference of politics into media affairs (...)"
