Magyar Nemzet

A right wing daily strongly supporting Fidesz party chairman and Prime Minister Viktor Orbán, but also giving voice to opinions to the right of his government’s or party’s line. Magyar Nemzet was originally founded in 1938, as a moderate conservative daily, opposing Nazism, until it was banned in 1944. Then, under communism, Magyar Nemzet was allowed more flexibility than the rest of the daily press in order to bring non-communist intellectuals nearer to the régime. After the régime change, as a result of political infighting and external influences it gradually became a right wing outlet in the 1990s,  with more radical tones after merging with the right wing daily Új Magyarország (New Hungary) in 2000.
